Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Tran Nguyen Bao Khanh.
The KBx Pro Ultimate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in all versions up to, and excluding, 8.0.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, 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).
