Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-40779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Yannick Lefebvre Link Library. 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-2026-40779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40779/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40779","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fgx4-f7jh-8whq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A contributor can delete arbitrary files via path traversal in the Link Library plugin, potentially compromising site integrity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Contributor Arbitrary File Deletion in Link Library \u003c= 7.8.8 versions.","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":"WordPress Link Library plugin \u003c= 7.8.8 - Arbitrary File Deletion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40779","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress BookIt plugin \u003c 2.5.4.1 - Broken Authentication vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40780"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Majestic Support plugin \u003c= 1.1.2 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40778"},"products":["Link Library"],"published":"2026-06-15","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":"2026-06-16","vendors":["Yannick Lefebvre"]},"summary":"A contributor can delete arbitrary files via path traversal in the Link Library plugin, potentially compromising site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40779/"}
