Unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion via path traversal
Published Jun 14, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Path traversal in Image Resizer On The Fly 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary server files via the delete task. The delete task fails to constrain the supplied path to plugin-managed image files before performing the filesystem deletion. No authentication or user interaction is required, and deleting wp-config.php creates a path to remote code execution.
