CVE-2026-120577: Path Traversal
The FluentCart A New Era of eCommerce – Faster, Lighter, and Simpler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the deleteFile function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-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).
Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which WordPress sites are affected?
Sites using the FluentCart plugin in version 1.6.2 or earlier are affected. The issue is in the plugin's deleteFile functionality.
What level of access does an attacker need?
An attacker must be authenticated and have custom-level access or higher. No user interaction is required.
What can exploitation lead to?
An attacker can delete arbitrary files on the server because file paths are not sufficiently validated. Deleting a file such as wp-config.php can potentially lead to remote code execution.
