What the vulnerability does
The WPFunnels plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the wpfnl_delete_log() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WPFunnels versions up to 3.6.2 contain a path traversal vulnerability that allows high-privilege users to read, modify, or delete arbitrary files on the server. An attacker with admin or elevated access can exploit this to manipulate site files or extract sensitive data. Update to a version newer than 3.6.2 immediately.
What an attacker can do
Read, modify, or delete arbitrary files on the server.
Potential impact on your site
A compromised admin account can be used to alter core files, steal configuration data, or disable the site.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have high-level admin or equivalent privileges on the WordPress site.
