No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15802 is a CWE-23 relative path traversal vulnerability in the WP Foodbakery WordPress plugin. The issue arises from insufficient validation of file paths in the 'delete_locations_backup_file_callback' function, enabling authenticated attackers with low privileges (subscriber-level and above) to delete arbitrary files on the server. This can escalate to remote code execution by deleting key files like wp-config.php. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.9. There is no vendor advisory or patch currently available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the WordPress site. This can lead to denial of service or remote code execution if critical files such as wp-config.php are deleted or manipulated. The vulnerability compromises the integrity and availability of the affected system and can result in full system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict subscriber-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from Chimpstudio regarding a patch or official mitigation. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users to reduce the attack surface.
