An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-52716 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: purethemes WorkScout-Core. 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-2026-52716/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52716/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-52716","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52716/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-52716","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5xf6-w3fg-8g33"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the WorkScout-Core plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion in WorkScout-Core \u003c= 1.7.11 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 WorkScout-Core plugin \u003c= 1.7.11 - Arbitrary File Deletion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-52716","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":"Gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free: gstreamer: denial of service via av1 tile_list_obu parser byte/bit confusion","id":"CVE-2026-52718"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress GEO my WordPress plugin \u003c= 4.5.5 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-52715"},"products":["WorkScout-Core"],"published":"2026-06-17","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-17","vendors":["purethemes"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the WorkScout-Core plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52716/"}
