Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Description
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-7359 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.2 | 0.01 | Jul 16, 2025 | The Counter live visitors for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the wcvisitor_get_block function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server. NOTE: This particular vulnerability deletes all the files in a targeted arbitrary directory rather than a specified arbitrary file, which can lead to loss of data or a denial of service condition. | |
| CVE-2025-4946 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.06 | Jul 2, 2025 | The Vikinger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the vikinger_delete_activity_media_ajax() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.32. 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). Note: Requires Vikinger Media plugin to be installed and active. | |

| CVE-2025-3055 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.06 | Jun 5, 2025 | The WP User Frontend Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_avatar_ajax() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.3. 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). | |
| CVE-2025-41229 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.2 | 0.02 | May 20, 2025 | VMware Cloud Foundation contains a directory traversal vulnerability. A malicious actor with network access to port 443 on VMware Cloud Foundation may exploit this issue to access certain internal services. | |
| CVE-2025-26692 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.01 | Apr 28, 2025 | Quick Agent V3 and Quick Agent V2 contain an issue with improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal'). If exploited, arbitrary code may be executed by a remote unauthenticated attacker with the Windows system privilege where the product is running. | |
| CVE-2025-3520 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.05 | Apr 18, 2025 | The Avatar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in a function in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.4. 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). | |
| CVE-2025-32587 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.00 | Apr 11, 2025 | Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in pickupp WooCommerce Pickupp wc-pickupp allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects WooCommerce Pickupp: from n/a through <= 2.4.3. | |
| CVE-2025-2636 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.10 | Apr 11, 2025 | The InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.0.85 via the 'instawp-database-manager' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where php file types can be uploaded and included, or are already present on the filesystem locally. There are currently no known vulnerabilities in this plugin that make file upload possible, meaning this won't be exploitable to achieve remote code execution on most instances with just this plugin alone. Another vulnerability would need to be present on the site allowing arbitrary file upload in order to leverage this to achieve remote code execution. | |

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform actions on files outside of the originally intended directory and enables file uploads to directories outside of the web root. Depending on server configuration it may be possible to upload files with double extensions. | |
| CVE-2024-6885 | Hig | 0.53 | 8.1 | 0.08 | Jul 23, 2024 | The MaxiBlocks: 2200+ Patterns, 190 Pages, 14.2K Icons & 100 Styles plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the maxi_remove_custom_image_size and maxi_add_custom_image_size functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.2.
