Arbitrary File Deletion in PPOM for WooCommerce

Publication date: 2026-10-10

Last updated on: 2026-10-10

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The PPOM – Product Addons & Custom Fields for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the rename_files function in all versions up to, and including, 34.0.10 This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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). The relocated file is moved byte-identically into the publicly accessible wp-content/uploads/ppom_files/confirmed/ directory, meaning the attack also results in arbitrary file read for any web-readable file on the server.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is in the PPOM plugin for WordPress. It allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server due to insufficient validation in the rename_files function. This can lead to remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are deleted. Attackers can also read any web-readable file as the deleted file is moved to a publicly accessible directory.

Detection Guidance

Check for unauthorized file deletions or modifications in the wp-content/uploads/ppom_files/confirmed/ directory. Monitor server logs for suspicious activity related to the PPOM plugin or WordPress file operations.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can allow attackers to delete important files on your server, potentially causing website downtime or data loss. It may also enable them to read sensitive files, leading to unauthorized access to confidential information. In severe cases, it could result in complete server compromise through remote code execution.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized file deletion and data exposure, violating GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements. For HIPAA, it risks unauthorized access to protected health information, potentially breaching security rules. Compliance failures may result in legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the PPOM plugin to the latest version if available. If not, disable the plugin until a patch is released. Review and restrict file permissions on the wp-content/uploads/ directory to prevent unauthorized access.
