DescriptionCVE.org

The Workeera WordPress plugin before 1.0.6 does not restrict which values may be written to a user's own candidate profile, and does not validate or contain the stored file path before deleting it, allowing users with a role as low as subscriber to delete arbitrary files on the server.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file deletion in the Workeera WordPress plugin before 1.0.6 lets any authenticated user with a role as low as subscriber remove files anywhere the web server can reach, because the plugin neither restricts which values a user may write to their own candidate profile nor validates/contains the stored file path before deletion. On a typical WordPress host this enables denial of service and, by deleting wp-config.php to force the installer into a fresh setup, potential full site takeover. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated account at subscriber level or higher (PR:L) that can reach the plugin's candidate-profile update functionality - practically trivial on sites that allow open or self-service registration, and a hard blocker on sites that restrict account creation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are mixed and should be read together rather than off the 9.6 headline alone. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or obtains a subscriber account on a Workeera-enabled WordPress site, then submits a candidate-profile update containing a crafted file-path value pointing at a sensitive file such as wp-config.php. The plugin deletes the referenced file with web-server privileges; removing wp-config.php can push the site back into the installer, opening a path to full compromise, while deleting other files causes denial of service. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade Workeera to version 1.0.6 or later, which is the primary and complete fix (patch confirmed available per the WPScan/vendor advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/26f8c020-a5d0-4561-9802-c8c53b7755e4/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all WordPress installations using the Workeera plugin, document current versions, and disable the plugin if immediate upgrading is not possible. …
