Descriptions

The Hotel Booking Lite WordPress plugin before 4.8.5 does not validate file paths provided via user input, as well as does not have proper CSRF and authorisation checks, allowing unauthenticated users to download and delete arbitrary files on the server

El complemento Hotel Booking Lite WordPress anterior a 4.8.5 no valida las rutas de archivos proporcionadas a través de la entrada del usuario, y tampoco tiene CSRF ni controles de autorización adecuados, lo que permite a usuarios no autenticados descargar y eliminar archivos arbitrarios en el servidor.

The Hotel Booking Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the maybeDownload() function and insufficient path validation in all versions up to 4.8.5 (exclusive). This makes it possible for unauthenticated to retrieve and delete arbitrary files which can be leveraged for remote code execution.
