Description
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the move_folders function in all versions up to, and including, 3.29.12. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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). This is exploitable without authentication when a form is configured with public visibility (who_can_see='all'), as the required nonce is publicly obtainable from the rendered form.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin allows an attacker to delete arbitrary files on the server because the move_folders function lacks proper path validation. An attacker can target critical files such as wp-config.php, leading to remote code execution or other severe compromise. The vulnerability is a classic path traversal flaw (CWE-22).

Affected Systems

This flaw exists in all released versions of the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin up to and including 3.29.12. WordPress sites that have installed the plugin and use any form configured with public visibility (who_can_see='all') are affected. The plugin is widely deployed across WordPress installations, but the specific version range is limited to the aforementioned releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects a high severity. Although EPSS data is unavailable, the logic shows the flaw is exploitable without authentication when a public form is present, as the required nonce can be obtained from the rendered form. The flaw is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the potential for immediate remote code execution makes it a high‑priority issue. Exploitation requires only a browser or simple HTTP request configured against a public form, making it broadly accessible.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Frontend Admin by DynamiApps to the latest version (3.29.13 or newer).
  • Temporarily remove or disable all public visibility forms until the plugin is patched.
  • If no upgrade is possible, block or restrict access to the custom_directory_name merge tag and ensure the move_folders function is never invoked by unauthenticated users.
