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. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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. |
