Summary
CVE-2026-32477 is an unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion vulnerability (path traversal) in the ShopBuilder Pro – Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addons WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 2.2.0. The flaw carries a High severity CVSS v3.1 score of 8.6, and can be triggered by unauthenticated remote attackers to delete arbitrary files on the affected server, potentially causing full site disruption.
Technical details
- Root cause: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (CWE-22 / Path Traversal, CAPEC-126) in a ShopBuilder Pro plugin file-handling function that does not properly sanitize user-supplied file paths.
- Trigger conditions: An attacker sends a crafted request containing a path-traversal sequence to the vulnerable plugin endpoint; no authentication or user interaction is required.
- Attack vector: Network — remotely exploitable over HTTP(S), low attack complexity.
- Impact: High availability impact — deletion of core WordPress or plugin files can break site functionality; the CVSS scope is "Changed," reflecting impact beyond the vulnerable component. No confidentiality or integrity impact is reported.
Affected software
- ShopBuilder Pro – Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addons (WordPress plugin, RadiusTheme, LLC) — versions ≤ 2.2.0
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.6 (High)
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: As of publication, no official patched version has been released by RadiusTheme. Monitor the vendor’s plugin changelog and update to the first version above 2.2.0 that addresses this issue as soon as it becomes available.
- If no patch is available: Consider temporarily deactivating the ShopBuilder Pro plugin on internet-facing WordPress sites, restrict or firewall access to plugin-specific endpoints, and deploy WAF/virtual-patching rules to block path-traversal patterns targeting the plugin until an official fix ships.
