Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.07.002 does not validate a client-controlled value used to build a file path in one of its public endpoint actions, and performs no authorisation check on it, allowing unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary ZIP archives on the server, including ones stored outside the web root.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion in WP Photo Album Plus (versions before 9.2.07.002) exposes WordPress sites to path traversal attacks through a public endpoint that accepts unvalidated client-controlled file path values with no authorization check in place. Any remote unauthenticated attacker can manipulate this path parameter to target and delete ZIP archives stored anywhere on the server, including directories outside the web root. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions are required beyond the plugin being installed and active on a WordPress site - this is remote unauthenticated exploitation confirmed by CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, meaning no WordPress login, nonce, or capability is checked. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) correctly captures the zero-authentication, low-complexity attack profile, though the A:N metric may understate real-world impact since deleting ZIP archives outside the web root - including backup archives or deployment packages - can indirectly cause service disruption and data loss beyond what 'no availability impact' implies. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running a vulnerable version of WP Photo Album Plus, then issues a crafted HTTP request to the plugin's public endpoint with a path traversal payload (e.g., directory traversal sequences in the file path parameter) targeting a known or guessed ZIP archive stored outside the web root - such as a backup archive or deployment package. The server processes the request without validation or authorization, deletes the targeted file, and returns a response confirming the action. … |
| Remediation | Update WP Photo Album Plus to version 9.2.07.002 or later, which is the vendor-released patched version confirmed by the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/fbc145d3-a582-4975-bc6b-e56e633e51e6/; administrators should apply this update immediately via the WordPress admin dashboard or WP-CLI ('wp plugin update wp-photo-album-plus'). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
