The Scape - Multipurpose WordPress theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in all versions up to 1.5.16 (exclusive). 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).
Not sure which version you run? Run a passive check — it reads public files only.
Remediation & mitigations
- Update to version 1.5.16, or a newer patched version
- Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
