CVE-2026-14372Network attack vector

Arbitrary file deletion via unchecked _old paths

Published Jul 9, 2026 · Updated Jul 9, 2026

Path traversal in Bit Apps Bit Form 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files through entry updates. The entry-update path passes the file field's _old value to deleteFiles without confirming that each resolved path stays in the entry upload directory or matches the current entry metadata. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; deleting wp-config.php can interrupt the site and create a path to code execution through WordPress reconfiguration.
