What is CVE-2026-120577?

The FluentCart plugin for WordPress is susceptible to an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability due to inadequate file path validation in the deleteFile function. This issue affects all versions up to and including 1.6.2. Authenticated users with custom-level access and higher can leverage this vulnerability to delete arbitrary files on the server. This poses significant security risks, as attackers could delete critical files, potentially leading to remote code execution when sensitive files like wp-config.php are removed. It is crucial for website admins to update to the latest version of the plugin and implement proper security measures to mitigate these risks.
