Administrator file deletion via unchecked icon path
Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Sep 3, 2024
Path traversal in Bit Apps Bit Form 2.0 through 2.13.4 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files. The iconRemove function passes an administrator-supplied icon path to file deletion without restricting the resolved path to an intended directory. Administrator-level WordPress access is required; deleting a critical file such as wp-config.php can disable the site and enable code execution.
