Description
The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk and Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.4. This is due to insufficient controls on paths being supplied when a user deletes an attachment from a ticket. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with ticket submitting-level access to delete arbitrary files on the site which can be used to achieve remote code execution and take over the site.
