Unauthenticated File Deletion Vulnerability in Elementor Addons Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2024-4346

Summary

The Startklar Elementor Addons plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that permits arbitrary file deletion in all releases up to and including version 1.7.13. This security flaw arises from the plugin's inadequate validation of uploaded file paths before deletion. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to delete critical files on the server, such as the wp-config.php file. This could enable attackers to gain control of the website by facilitating site takeover and remote code execution, posing significant threats to website integrity and security.
