Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 0.3% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: yes
Published: 2023-04-24 · updated 2026-06-17

Description

The WPCode WordPress plugin before 2.0.9 has a flawed CSRF when deleting log, and does not ensure that the file to be deleted is inside the expected folder. This could allow attackers to make users with the wpcode_activate_snippets capability delete arbitrary log files on the server, including outside of the blog folders

Affected products

WPCode: before 2.0.9 — fixed in 2.0.9

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: WPCode 2.0.9. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
