DescriptionCVE.org

The Atarim - AI Agency for WordPress: Edit Pages, Fix Code, Update Plugins, SEO & Client Feedback plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the AVCF_Abilities_Media::register (replace-media-file execute_callback) function in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-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). This is exploitable by first using the atarim/update-post-field ability to overwrite the _wp_attached_file meta of an attacker-owned attachment with a directory-traversal path, then invoking atarim/replace-media-file to cause get_attached_file() to resolve and unlink the targeted file.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file deletion in the Atarim AI Agency for WordPress plugin (all versions through 5.1.1) allows authenticated attackers holding author-level credentials to delete any file on the underlying server via a chained directory traversal attack, with a direct path to remote code execution. The exploit chain poisons WordPress attachment metadata with a traversal path and then triggers the plugin's media replacement workflow to resolve and unlink the attacker-chosen target file. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated WordPress session with the author role or higher - subscriber-level and lower roles are insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 8.1 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N correctly reflects that the attack is fully network-accessible, requires no unusual conditions, and needs only author-level credentials - a realistic attacker capability in multi-contributor WordPress environments such as content agencies, news sites, and client-services platforms. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update the Atarim plugin to a version beyond 5.1.1; a fix has been committed to the WordPress.org SVN repository as changeset 3653026 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3653026%40atarim-visual-collaboration&new=3653026%40atarim-visual-collaboration), however the exact released patch version number is not confirmed in available data - verify the current version in the WordPress plugin directory before updating. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all WordPress user accounts with author-level access or higher to identify potential exploit vectors, and review server logs for suspicious file deletion activity. …
