Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-81347 is an external control of file name or path vulnerability (CWE-73) in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.29.13. The plugin does not properly validate directory paths supplied by users before deleting files, enabling unauthenticated attackers to delete sensitive files like index.php and .htaccess outside the intended directory, including the WordPress root directory. Successful exploitation requires a non-default form configuration to be present.
Potential Impact
An attacker can delete critical files such as index.php and .htaccess outside the intended directory, including the WordPress root directory. This can cause denial of service by rendering the website inoperable. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or integrity directly but causes availability disruption.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the plugin's functionality and avoid using non-default form configurations that could be exploited.
