CVE-2026-2421
CWE-22Published: March 20, 2026· Updated: Mar 20, 2026
Official Description
The ilGhera Carta Docente for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 via the 'cert' parameter of the 'wccd-delete-certificate' AJAX action. This is due to insufficient file path validation before performing a file deletion. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, such as wp-config.php, which can make site takeover and remote code execution possible.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-2421 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.
