An authenticated user with at least Subscriber level can provide a directory path that bypasses checks and triggers deletion of arbitrary directories on the server, including the WordPress root. This flaw is a path traversal issue (CWE\u201122) that can lead to loss of data, site downtime, and potentially full server compromise if the attacker deletes critical files.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity assessment. Exploit probability metrics are not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires authentication; an attacker with Subscriber or higher access can trigger the deletion via the theme\u2019s administrative interface. Once invoked, the deletion is unconditional, granting the attacker the ability to remove any directory accessible to the web server process, which can result in site defacement, data loss, or further privilege escalation if additional vulnerabilities exist."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-15T14:28:41.084633+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-15T14:53:38.962583+00:00", "vendors": ["designingmedia", "designingmedia$PRODUCT$eleganzo", "wordpress", "wordpress$PRODUCT$wordpress"]}
