## What is CVE-2026-9725?

CVE-2026-9725 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Printcart Web to Print Product Designer for WooCommerce, published on 3 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Printcart Web to Print Product Designer for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion in versions up to, and including, 2.5.2 This is due to insufficient path validation in the store_design_data() function, which constructs a filesystem path from the user-supplied 'nbd_item_key' POST parameter sanitized only with sanitize_text_field() — which does not strip path traversal sequences — and then passes that path directly to Nbdesigner_IO::delete_folder() and PHP's rename(). The nonce protecting the nbd_save_customer_design AJAX action is freely obtainable by unauthenticated users via the nbd_check_use_logged_in endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

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