AI-suggested
Users should upgrade the Alone theme to version 7.8.7 or later, where the vulnerability is fully patched. Versions up to 7.8.5 are vulnerable, and 7.8.5 only contains a partial fix. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
The Alone – Charity Multipurpose Non-profit WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the alone_import_pack_restore_data() function in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.5. 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). This was partially patched in 7.8.5 and has been fully addresses in 7.8.7.
