Authenticated file deletion via unvalidated AJAX path
Published Jul 22, 2026 · Updated Jul 22, 2026
Relative path traversal in Chimpstudio WP Foodbakery 4.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files. The delete_locations_backup_file_callback function passes an insufficiently validated AJAX-supplied path to file deletion, allowing traversal outside the intended backup location. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and deletion of configuration or application files enables code execution or interrupts the site.
