Arbitrary file deletion in the VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.8.12) is reachable via a cross-site request forgery flaw that lets an attacker abuse a path-traversal-capable file operation. By tricking a logged-in administrator into visiting a malicious page, a remote unauthenticated attacker can forge a request that deletes arbitrary files on the WordPress host, potentially disabling the site. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation	Exploitation requires a victim who is currently authenticated to WordPress with sufficient privileges to invoke the plugin's file-management functionality (typically an administrator) and who must perform user interaction - visiting an attacker-controlled page or clicking a crafted link (UI:R) - while that session is active. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment	The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.4) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no attacker privileges but requiring victim interaction (UI:R), with a changed scope and a high availability impact only - no confidentiality or integrity loss is scored despite the primitive being file deletion, which is a notable NVD/Patchstack scoring choice worth verifying since deleting files arguably harms integrity as well. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario	An attacker hosts a web page containing a hidden auto-submitting form or image request that targets the VikBooking file-deletion handler with a traversal path such as ../../../../wp-config.php. They send the link to a hotel's WordPress administrator, and when that logged-in admin opens it, the browser silently submits the forged request under the admin's session, deleting the targeted file and potentially taking the site offline. …
Remediation	No vendor-released patch version was identified in the available data; the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/vikbooking/vulnerability/wordpress-vikbooking-hotel-booking-engine-pms-plugin-1-8-12-csrf-to-arbitrary-file-deletion-vulnerability) should be consulted for the fixed release, and administrators should update VikBooking to any version later than 1.8.12 once confirmed by the vendor. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
