CVE-2026-8095Network attack vector

Subscriber-level file deletion via case-normalized path overwrite

Published Jun 27, 2026 · Updated Jun 27, 2026

Arbitrary file deletion in N-Media Frontend File Manager Plugin 23.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete server files. The wpfm_file_meta_update AJAX handler's case-sensitive unset check misses uppercase WPFM_DIR_PATH, which sanitize_key() later normalizes before update_post_meta() overwrites the stored path; delete_file_locally() then passes that path to unlink() without directory containment validation. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and deletion of wp-config.php or another critical file can interrupt the site or enable takeover.
