CVE-2026-14524: ProSolution WP Client <= 2.0.8 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion via 'newfilename' and 'filename' Parameters
The ProSolution WP Client plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the proSolfileDeleteProcess function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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). An attacker must first call the proSolfileUploadModalProcess handler to poison their own session with a path-traversal key, then call proSolfileDeleteProcess with that key as the filename parameter; both steps require only the publicly exposed frontend nonce.

Upgrade
ProSolution WP Clientto a version that resolves this vulnerability.Fixed in 2.0.8 - Compensating control
Since the issue allows unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion via proSol_fileDeleteProcess using the 'filename'/'newfilename' parameters, restrict access to the publicly exposed frontend nonce endpoints/requests used for proSol_fileUploadModalProcess and proSol_fileDeleteProcess so only intended users/sessions can invoke them.
