CVE-2026-107321 Details
Description
The W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.10.6 does not confine a media-import file copy to the document root, nor enforce an effective file-type restriction on it, allowing users with the Author role or higher to plant content that, once an administrator runs the import, copies an arbitrary server-readable file into a publicly served directory, exposing it to unauthenticated retrieval.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.10.6. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not restrict media-import file copies to the document root or enforce effective file-type limitations. This flaw enables users with the Author role or higher to upload content that, when imported by an administrator, transfers an arbitrary server-readable file into a publicly accessible directory, where it can be retrieved by anyone.
Users are advised to update the W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin to version 2.10.6 or later.
