WPBot Pro Wordpress Chatbot <= 13.6.2 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Deletion
Affected versions: *-13.6.2
Vulnerability type: CWE-73 External Control of File Name or Path
Affected software, patched versions and attribution
The WPBot Pro Wordpress Chatbot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the qcld_openai_delete_training_file() function in all versions up to, and including, 13.6.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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).
