Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Woffice Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the woffice_file_manager_delete() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.26. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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).

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Woffice Core WordPress plugin contains an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the woffice_file_manager_delete() function. Insufficient validation of file path inputs allows authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher to delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the file path parameter, potentially leading to remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are targeted.

MitigationUpgrade to Woffice Core version 5.4.27 or later which contains the patch. Alternatively, disable the file manager functionality or restrict user permissions until the patch can be applied.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Woffice plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and check if 'Woffice Core' (or 'Xtendify Woffice') appears in the installed plugins list
    Affected if Woffice Core plugin is not installed on the WordPress site
  2. Check installed Woffice version
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, locate Woffice Core and view the version number displayed beneath the plugin name, or check the plugin header in /wp-content/plugins/woffice-core/woffice.php for the 'Version' tag
    Affected if The installed version is any version earlier than 5.4.27 (e.g., 5.4.26, 5.4.0, etc.)
  3. Confirm file manager functionality is accessible
    Attempt to access the file manager feature in Woffice (typically found in the WordPress admin under Woffice settings or a file manager menu item), or check if the woffice_file_manager_delete() function exists in the codebase at /wp-content/plugins/woffice-core/
    Affected if The file manager module is enabled and accessible to users
  4. Check for Contributor-level or higher users
    In WordPress Admin > Users, review the user list to identify any accounts assigned the Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator role
    Affected if There exists at least one user with Contributor-level permissions or higher who could potentially trigger the vulnerable function

A site is affected if Woffice Core version is below 5.4.27, the file manager feature is enabled, and at least one user with Contributor-level permissions or higher exists on the site.

Recommended fix High confidence

Woffice Core plugin version 5.4.27

  1. 1. Create a complete backup of your WordPress site (database and files) before making any changes.
  2. 2. Navigate to WordPress Admin Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins.
  3. 3. Locate the 'Woffice Core' plugin in the plugin list.
  4. 4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to update to version 5.4.27 or later.
  5. 5. Alternatively, download version 5.4.27 from the official Woffice source (hub.woffice.io or themeforest.net) and upload/install it via WordPress plugin upload.
  6. 6. After updating, verify the plugin version shows 5.4.27 or higher in the plugins list.
  7. 7. Test that the file manager functionality still works correctly with legitimate files.
