Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-42756 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ludwig You QuickWebP \u0026#8211; Compress / Optimize Images \u0026amp; Convert WebP | SEO Friendly. 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-2026-42756/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42756/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42756","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42756/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42756","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7hfx-87f9-p7x4"],"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":"An attacker can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the QuickWebP WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Ludwig You QuickWebP \u0026#8211; Compress / Optimize Images \u0026amp; Convert WebP | SEO Friendly quickwebp allows Path Traversal.This issue affects QuickWebP \u0026#8211; Compress / Optimize Images \u0026amp; Convert WebP | SEO Friendly: from n/a through \u003c= 3.2.7.","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":"Path traversal in QuickWebP \u0026#8211; Compress / Optimize Images \u0026amp; Convert WebP | SEO Friendly","id":"CVE-2026-42756","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 WebinarIgnition plugin \u003c 4.08.253 - Arbitrary File Deletion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-42757"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress TableOn plugin \u003c= 1.0.5.1 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-42755"},"products":["QuickWebP \u0026#8211; Compress / Optimize Images \u0026amp; Convert WebP | SEO Friendly"],"published":"2026-05-27","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-27","vendors":["Ludwig You"]},"summary":"An attacker can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the QuickWebP WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42756/"}
