What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Invelity Product Feeds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion via path traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.6. This is due to missing validation and sanitization in the 'createManageFeedPage' function. This makes it possible for authenticated administrator-level attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server via specially crafted requests that include path traversal sequences, granted they can trick an admin into clicking a malicious link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
Invelity Product Feeds versions 1.2.6 and earlier are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, performs unwanted actions on the site without their knowledge. The vulnerability requires the admin to be logged in and click a link or visit the attacker's page. Successful exploitation can modify site data or disable functionality.
