Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

No authentication, session token, or special site configuration is required - CVSS PR:N and AC:L confirm the deletion endpoint is reachable by any unauthenticated network attacker against any WordPress site running Ultimate Addons for WPBakery Page Builder before version 3.21.4. The one natural limiting factor is impact scope: sites with no custom icon font packs uploaded experience no meaningful effect beyond an empty deletion operation. The attack does not grant code execution, file write capability, credential disclosure, or persistent access - exploitation is bounded to destruction of custom icon font assets. No specific platform, non-default configuration, or user interaction is required.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L) captures a network-exploitable, zero-authentication, low-complexity attack with bounded impact: permanent loss of custom icon fonts degrades site integrity and breaks visual elements dependent on those fonts, but does not yield code execution or credential access. SSVC reinforces urgency on automatable coverage: the attack requires no setup, scales trivially across all unpatched instances, and a public proof-of-concept lowers the skill threshold to near zero. However, EPSS at 0.15% (5th percentile) indicates exploitation has not materialized at scale as of this analysis, consistent with the narrow, non-critical impact class. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Real-world priority should be elevated for sites with significant custom icon branding investments where deletion would cause visible disruption, but this is not a systemic compromise path. Note: the source tag 'Information Disclosure' appears to be a misclassification - the actual impact is unauthorized data destruction with no confidentiality dimension confirmed by the CVSS vector (C:N).

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker performs mass scanning for WordPress sites bearing fingerprints of the WPBakery ecosystem, then issues a single crafted HTTP POST request to the WordPress AJAX endpoint targeting the unprotected icon font deletion action - no session cookie, authentication token, or CSRF nonce required. All custom-uploaded icon font packs are permanently deleted in one round trip, visually breaking branding elements across the site until fonts are manually re-uploaded by an administrator. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this single-request technique is documented via WPScan.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Unauthenticated deletion of all custom icon font packs is possible in Ultimate Addons for WPBakery Page Builder WordPress plugin before version 3.21.4. The plugin's icon font deletion endpoint performs no WordPress capability check and no nonce verification, meaning any unauthenticated HTTP request can permanently erase every custom-uploaded icon font pack on an affected site in a single request. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists and SSVC assesses the attack as automatable, though EPSS remains very low at 0.15% (5th percentile), indicating no significant observed exploitation at scale; the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Update the Ultimate Addons for WPBakery Page Builder plugin to version 3.21.4 or later immediately; this is the vendor-confirmed patched release introducing the missing capability and nonce checks on the icon font deletion endpoint. Update via the WordPress plugin dashboard or directly from the plugin vendor. For sites that cannot patch immediately, a compensating control is to block unauthenticated POST requests to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php at the WAF or web server layer specifically for the icon font deletion action parameter - however, blanket restriction of admin-ajax.php for unauthenticated users may break other plugin functionality and requires careful action-parameter scoping to avoid collateral impact. Alternatively, temporarily deactivating the Ultimate Addons for WPBakery plugin entirely eliminates the attack surface with the trade-off of losing all plugin-provided design elements.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is a WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:ultimate_addons_for_wpbakery_page_builder:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that extends WPBakery Page Builder with supplementary design elements including custom icon font pack management. WordPress security conventions require all sensitive administrative actions to be gated behind both a capability check (e.g., current_user_can()) to verify user authority and a nonce to prevent cross-site request forgery. CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) applies because the deletion routine processes externally supplied input identifying icon font resources and acts on them without verifying the requestor's identity or authorization - effectively allowing any unauthenticated actor to externally direct the server to erase stored font assets. The vulnerability class combines missing authorization and missing CSRF protection on a destructive file-management endpoint.
