CVE-2026-12979

FunnelKit < 3.15.0.6 - Admin+ Arbitrary File Deletion via Path Traversal in Template Importer

Published Jul 16, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The FunnelKit WordPress plugin before 3.15.0.6 does not validate a user-supplied path before deleting a file during a template-import operation, allowing users with administrator privileges to delete arbitrary .json files outside the intended directory through path traversal, which can disable other FunnelKit WordPress plugin before 3.15.0.6 or (denial of service).

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The FunnelKit WordPress plugin before version 3.15.0.6 allows an administrator to delete arbitrary files when importing a template. The deletion function does not validate the supplied file path, so a malicious or compromised admin can provide a path that traverses out of the intended directory, removing .json files outside the plugin's scope. This operation can break the plugin's configuration or cause a denial of service by rendering the plugin inoperable.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation that includes the FunnelKit plugin with a version older than 3.15.0.6. The vulnerability is specific to the FunnelKit plugin for WordPress and affects users who have administrator-level access to the site.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates a moderate risk, with an EPSS score of less than 1% showing a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Exploitation requires administrative privileges; an attacker needs to be able to perform a template import with a crafted file path. No remote code execution or data exfiltration is possible, but an exploit leads to service interruption by deleting critical configuration files.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade FunnelKit to version 3.15.0.6 or later to remove the path‑traversal flaw.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, limit the set of administrators and ensure only trusted users can perform template imports.
  • Apply a temporary code patch that validates the file path before deletion, rejecting any traversal patterns.
