{"id":"CVE-2026-109221","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-109221","summary":"The Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the copy_file function…","details":"The Groundhogg — CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the copy_file function in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.3 This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Sales Representative-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). This is exploitable by any user holding the plugin-defined import_contacts capability, which is granted by default to the plugin's custom Sales Representative role.","published":"2026-10-16T05:17:29.227","modified":"2026-10-16T05:17:29.227","cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/groundhoggwp/groundhogg/commit/e319e4a849bfbb07cccfbac8558ad6bf07a7fdc0","label":"groundhoggwp/groundhogg@e319e4a"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/groundhoggwp/groundhogg/commit/e319e4a849bfbb07cccfbac8558ad6bf07a7fdc0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/admin/tools/tools-page.php#L575"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/admin/tools/tools-page.php#L602"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/background/import-contacts.php#L200"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/classes/traits/file-box.php#L85"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/classes/traits/file-box.php#L94"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/functions.php#L2872"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/functions.php#L8045"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/main-roles.php#L583"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/groundhogg/tags/4.9.3/includes/utils/files.php#L323"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3744461/groundhogg/trunk/includes/classes/traits/file-box.php"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/fb5100ac-cfe6-4e91-9349-6e8efa850147?source=cve"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-16T05:17:29.227"}}
