CVE-2026-6262

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

The Betheme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion in versions up to, and including, 28.4. This is due to the upload_icons() function workflow using a user-controlled upload path (`mfn-icon-upload`) in a filesystem move operation without constraining it to the uploads directory. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to move/delete arbitrary local files via path traversal.

      "value": "El tema Betheme para WordPress es vulnerable a la Eliminación Arbitraria de Archivos en versiones hasta la 28.4, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el flujo de trabajo de la función upload_icons() utiliza una ruta de carga controlada por el usuario (’mfn-icon-upload’) en una operación de movimiento del sistema de archivos sin restringirla al directorio de cargas. Esto permite a los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador o superior, mover/eliminar archivos locales arbitrarios mediante salto de ruta."
