Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk

2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs

Summary

The WebTotem Backups WordPress plugin through 1.0.1 does not validate a user-supplied file path, does not check the capability of the user making the request, and discards the result of its own CSRF check, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to a site takeover.

Risk Assessment

Even a user with the lowest privileges can delete arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to data destruction, site unavailability and full site takeover.

Recommendation

Update the WebTotem Backups plugin to a version newer than 1.0.1 as soon as it is available, or temporarily disable it. Verify server file integrity and perform a backup.
