SMSA Shipping(official) <= 2.3 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Deletion

External Control of File Name or Path
CVE CVE-2024-12066
CVSS High (8.8)
Publicly Published December 20, 2024
Last Updated January 30, 2025
Researcher Brian Sans-Souci (liardom)
Description

The SMSA Shipping(official) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the smsa_delete_label() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.3. 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). CVE-2024-49249 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
