Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion in Broadcast Live Video <= 7.2.4 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion in the Broadcast Live Video WordPress plugin (versions <= 7.2.4) allows any remote attacker without credentials to delete arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a path traversal flaw in the plugin's file-handling functionality. Affecting installations of the VideoWhisper live streaming plugin on WordPress, a successful attack can corrupt site integrity - including deletion of critical files such as wp-config.php, effectively bricking the WordPress installation. No public exploit code or KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the zero-authentication barrier lowers the practical difficulty considerably.

Technical ContextAI

The affected product is the Broadcast Live Video plugin for WordPress, developed by VideoWhisper (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:videowhisper:broadcast_live_video:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which provides live video streaming and broadcasting integration for WordPress sites. The root cause is CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory, i.e., Path Traversal). This class of vulnerability arises when user-supplied input - such as a filename or path parameter - is concatenated into a filesystem operation (here, a file deletion call) without sufficient sanitization or canonical-path validation, allowing sequences like '../../../' to escape the intended directory boundary and reference arbitrary filesystem paths. Because the CVSS vector is PR:N/UI:N, the vulnerable code path is reachable by any HTTP client without authentication or interaction.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to update the Broadcast Live Video plugin to a version beyond 7.2.4; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/videowhisper-live-streaming-integration/vulnerability/wordpress-broadcast-live-video-plugin-7-2-4-arbitrary-file-deletion-vulnerability and the WordPress plugin repository for the latest release. No specific patched version number has been confirmed from the available data - verify the exact fix version with the vendor before deploying. If an immediate update is not possible, consider deactivating the plugin entirely as a compensating control, accepting the trade-off of losing live streaming functionality. Additionally, applying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block requests containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../ or encoded variants) targeting the plugin's endpoints can reduce exploitation risk, though this should not substitute for patching.
