MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least low privileges (CVSS PR:L) on a WordPress site running the Crocoblock JetFormBuilder plugin at version 3.6.7.1 or earlier; the flaw is network-reachable (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The available sources do not name the exact vulnerable form feature, endpoint, or path parameter, so the precise trigger is not described in the evidence. Limiting factors: the authentication requirement means fully anonymous exploitation is not supported by the vector - practical risk is highest on sites permitting open or low-barrier user registration; impact is confined to availability (file deletion), with no direct confidentiality or integrity disclosure per the vector. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, authenticated availability vulnerability rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 6.5) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that requires some level of authenticated access (PR:L) and affects only availability - consistent with the referenced Patchstack advisory title of 'arbitrary file deletion.' No EPSS score was supplied, so widespread-exploitation probability cannot be quantified from the input. The CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no confirmed public exploit code is indicated - the sole reference is a Patchstack database advisory, not verified working exploit code. No SSVC exploitation/automatable/technical-impact decomposition was provided; the only priority signal is the vuln.today 'this_month' decision label, which positions this as a scheduled-patching item rather than act_now/emergency. The PR:L requirement is the key risk limiter: an attacker needs at least a low-privilege authenticated account, which on many WordPress sites means a subscriber/registered user, so in deployments allowing open registration the barrier is low. Conflict/gap to note: the absence of C and I impact means this is purely destructive (file deletion), yet deleting a critical file such as wp-config.php could cascade into broader site compromise - raw CVSS captures only the direct availability loss. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a low-privilege authenticated account on a WordPress site running JetFormBuilder ≤ 3.6.7.1 submits a crafted request to a vulnerable form-handling endpoint containing a traversal sequence in a file-path parameter, causing the plugin to delete a file outside the intended directory. By deleting critical files (e.g., configuration or core files) the attacker can render the site inoperable or force it into a vulnerable setup/recovery state. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the only reference is a Patchstack advisory, not verified exploit code. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 01, 2026
Authenticated users with low privileges on WordPress sites running the Crocoblock JetFormBuilder plugin through 3.6.7.1 can exploit a path traversal flaw to delete files outside the intended directory, degrading availability (CVSS 6.5, availability-only impact). The issue is network-reachable with low complexity and no user interaction, but it requires a logged-in account (PR:L), so sites that allow open or low-barrier registration carry the highest practical exposure. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry is associated with this CVE in the available data, and the exact vulnerable endpoint or path parameter is not identified in the sources; the priority label assigned is 'this_month'.
RemediationAI
The supplied data does not include a vendor-confirmed fixed version, so patching status must be verified against the vendor and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/jetformbuilder/vulnerability/wordpress-jetformbuilder-plugin-3-6-7-1-arbitrary-file-deletion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve; upgrade JetFormBuilder past 3.6.7.1 as soon as a release is published. Because the vector requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L), the most direct compensating control is to close the account surface the attacker needs: disable open user registration and audit or remove unnecessary low-privilege, subscriber-level, and stale accounts, with the trade-off that legitimate self-service onboarding stops working. If the plugin is not essential, deactivating or removing it eliminates exposure entirely, at the cost of losing its form functionality; where it must stay active, restrict access to wp-admin and the plugin's front-end form endpoints to trusted networks or roles, recognizing that this degrades usability for legitimate users, and maintain known-good file backups so that deleted files can be restored, since the demonstrated impact is availability rather than data disclosure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a CWE-22 improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory issue in the WordPress plugin JetFormBuilder, a Crocoblock form-builder component. Path traversal of this class arises when user-supplied path or filename input is used in a filesystem operation without normalization and containment checks against the intended base directory; in this case the Patchstack advisory title classifies the outcome as arbitrary file deletion, which is consistent with the assessed vector scoring confidentiality and integrity as none and availability as high (C:N/I:N/A:H). The CPE cpe:2.3:a:crocoblock:jetformbuilder:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product is the plugin itself across versions up to and including 3.6.7.1. The available sources do not name the specific form feature, AJAX action, or path parameter that carries the traversal, so the precise trigger is not described in the evidence; what is established is that exploitation is network-based (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), requires no user interaction (UI:N), and requires an authenticated account with at least low privileges (PR:L) on the hosting WordPress site.
