The CODE MONKEYS PROPOSALS WordPress plugin through 1.0.1 does not validate a user-supplied file path before deleting a file, and does not check the capability of the user making the request, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to a site takeover.

AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file deletion in the CODE MONKEYS PROPOSALS WordPress plugin (all versions through 1.0.1) allows any authenticated user - including a low-privileged subscriber - to delete arbitrary files on the server, because the plugin neither validates the user-supplied file path nor checks the caller's capability. Deleting critical files such as wp-config.php can force WordPress into a reinstallation state, enabling full site takeover. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated session at any privilege level - a subscriber account is explicitly sufficient - so exploitation is practical on sites that allow open user registration or where the attacker already holds any low-privileged credential. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H, 9.6) reflects genuinely low exploitation friction: network-reachable, low complexity, no user interaction, and only subscriber-level authentication - a bar that is trivially met on any site with open registration. … 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 | No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data - the plugin is described as vulnerable 'through 1.0.1' with no fixed release cited, so treat it as unpatched at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all WordPress installations to identify deployment of the CODE MONKEYS PROPOSALS plugin; if found, disable it immediately and restrict subscriber access as no vendor patch is available. …
