Broken access control in the Slim SEO WordPress plugin through version 4.6.2 allows authenticated users holding the Contributor role to bypass authorization checks and access restricted data, yielding a high confidentiality impact per CVSS C:H. The flaw is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to verify whether the requesting user holds sufficient privileges before executing certain privileged actions. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing exist at time of analysis; however, low attack complexity and no required user interaction make this straightforward to exploit by any valid contributor-level account holder.
Arbitrary file deletion in Meta Box - WordPress Custom Fields Framework versions 5.11.1 and earlier exposes servers to filesystem damage through a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) accessible to WordPress Contributor-level users. By embedding traversal sequences in a crafted file deletion request, an authenticated Contributor can delete files outside the intended plugin directory, potentially reaching critical server or WordPress installation files. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; however, the scope-changed CVSS metric indicates that impact can extend beyond the WordPress application boundary to the underlying server filesystem.
Auth. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
