Subscriber-level file deletion via undisclosed path traversal
Published Jun 25, 2026 · Updated Jun 25, 2026
Path traversal in JoomSky JS Help Desk 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files. The public advisory identifies an arbitrary file-deletion path traversal but does not disclose the affected handler, parameter, or how it passes an attacker-controlled path to a deletion operation. Subscriber access is required, and deleting WordPress core or site files can interrupt the hosted website.
