Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-14982 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: JoomUnited WP File Download. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14982/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14982/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-14982","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14982/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-14982","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gccv-v436-7783"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can delete arbitrary files via path traversal, potentially leading to remote code execution by deleting critical configuration files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete function in all versions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The two-stage exploit requires a first request to the file.save task to persist the path-traversal string into file metadata, followed by a second request to the file.delete task to trigger the unlink call — both endpoints lack capability checks and nonce enforcement.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP File Download \u003c= 6.3.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Deletion via 'remoteurl' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-14982","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Missing Authentication in Teledyne FLIR Robots running Aware2","id":"CVE-2026-14983"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Liberty are affected by multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-14981"},"products":["WP File Download"],"published":"2026-09-02","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-04","vendors":["JoomUnited"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can delete arbitrary files via path traversal, potentially leading to remote code execution by deleting critical configuration files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-14982/"}
