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 · moderate confidenceThe Tassos Framework Plugin contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability allowing authenticated users to delete arbitrary files on affected sites. This arbitrary file deletion vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1, indicating high severity due to the potential for complete site compromise through systematic file removal.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Tassos pluginsCheck the wp-content/plugins/ directory for folders starting with 'tassos', 'convert-forms', 'engagebox', 'google-structured-data', 'mailchimp-auto-subscribe', 'smile-pack', or 'tassos-framework'. Also check the plugins list in the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins.Affected if Any of the eight affected Tassos plugins (Advanced Custom Fields, Convert Forms, Engagebox, Google Structured Data, Mailchimp Auto Subscribe, Smile Pack, Tassos Code Snippets, or Tassos Framework) are installed.
-
Locate plugin version informationOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually named the same as the plugin folder with a .php extension) and look for a version comment or the 'Version' header in the plugin file header comments.Affected if Unable to locate version information in the plugin files.
-
Compare installed version against affected rangesCompare the installed version number to these affected ranges: Tassos Framework <= 6.0.1; Advanced Custom Fields <= 2.8.12 or 3.0.0-3.1.3; Convert Forms <= 4.4.12 or 5.0.0-5.1.5; Engagebox <= 6.3.11 or 7.0.0-7.1.1; Google Structured Data <= 5.6.11 or 6.0.0-6.1.9; Mailchimp Auto Subscribe <= 5.0.5 or 5.1.0-5.2.0; Smile Pack <= 1.2.6 or 2.0.0-2.1.0; Tassos Code Snippets = 1.0.0Affected if The installed version falls within any of the listed affected version ranges.
-
Check for file deletion functionality exposureReview the plugin code for any AJAX actions or endpoints that handle file deletion operations, typically involving functions like wp_delete_file, unlink, or delete_file. Look for parameters that accept file paths without proper authorization checks.Affected if The plugin exposes file deletion functionality accessible to authenticated users without proper access controls.
A user is affected if any of the eight Tassos plugins is installed with a version number matching the affected ranges, as the IDOR vulnerability allows authenticated users to delete arbitrary files.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedImmediately update the Tassos Framework Plugin to the latest patched version when available. Review user role permissions and restrict file deletion capabilities to only trusted administrators until the patch is applied.
Upgrade to the latest version of the affected Tassos Framework-based plugin available from tassos.gr (version higher than 6.0.1 for Tassos Framework)
- 1. Identify the specific Tassos Framework-based plugin affected in your installation (Advanced Custom Fields, Convert Forms, Engagebox, Google Structured Data, Mailchimp Auto Subscribe, Smile Pack, Tassos Code Snippets, or Tassos Framework itself)
- 2. Check the currently installed version of the affected plugin in your WordPress or Joomla admin panel
- 3. Visit the official vendor source at tassos.gr to obtain the latest version of the affected plugin
- 4. Update the plugin to the latest version available from the vendor which contains the security fix
- 5. Verify the update was successful by confirming the new version number in the admin panel
- 6. Test that the plugin functionality remains intact after the update
