## What is CVE-2026-75098?

CVE-2026-75098 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in productdesignerapp Product Designer App, published on 30 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Product Designer App plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3 via the 'svg' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The endpoint's only authentication gate relies on a nonce and token that are both publicly emitted as JavaScript globals on any page rendering the [pdapp-studio-page] shortcode, making them freely obtainable by anonymous visitors.

Weakness: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)
