Descriptions

The Home Villas | Real Estate WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'wp_rem_cs_widget_file_delete' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.8. 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).

El tema Home Villas | Real Estate WordPress Theme para WordPress es vulnerable a la eliminación arbitraria de archivos debido a una validación insuficiente de la ruta de archivo en la función 'wp_rem_cs_widget_file_delete' en todas las versiones hasta la 2.8 incluida. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de suscriptor o superior, eliminen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor, lo que puede provocar fácilmente la ejecución remota de código al eliminar el archivo correcto (como wp-config.php).
