Attackers can exploit insufficient path validation in computeExtractVariables() and validateImportedSiteVsPackage() to cause primeMoverDoDelete() to remove directories outside the intended extraction path, potentially deleting critical WordPress directories such as wp-admin and rendering the site inoperable.","published":"2026-10-01T17:17:18.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-02T18:00:35.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00335,"percentile":0.26627,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-02","score":0.00345,"percentile":0.25651}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.34%).
