CVE	CVE-2024-37928
CVSS	Critical (9.1)
Publicly Published	July 9, 2024

Researcher	Dave Jong

Description

The Noo JobMonster theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in a function in all versions up to, and not including, 4.7.5. 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).
