CVE-2024-12035CS Framework <= 7.0 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Deletion
High 8.8
In plain English
A high-severity path traversal in CS Framework from Chimpstudio. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.9% (higher than 60% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The CS Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the cs_widget_file_delete() function in all versions up to, and including, 6.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
