CVE-2026-12513: Unknown Shared-Files-Pro

Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Shared Files WordPress plugin before 1.7.67, shared-files-pro WordPress plugin before 1.7.68 do not properly sanitize a file path taken from a frontend file submission and their single-pass traversal filter is bypassable, allowing unauthenticated users to store a path that points outside the uploads directory. When the corresponding file entry is later permanently deleted, an arbitrary file on the server (such as wp-config.php) is deleted, leading to denial of service and potential site takeover.

Affected products

• Unknown Shared-Files-Pro: before 1.7.68 (fixed in 1.7.68)
• Unknown Shared Files: before 1.7.67 (fixed in 1.7.67)
