Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation when deleting profile pictures in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.89. 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).

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.4.90, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) The product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations.
