CVE-2026-19253

Summary

The flaw allows unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary files and directories by manipulating a URL in the Cache Enabler WordPress plugin, posing a significant security risk.

Exploitability

Exploitation is relatively straightforward given the lack of URL validation and confinement checks, requiring only that a request-derived URL be passed to the public cache-clearing hook.

Blast radius

If exploited, this could lead to the complete compromise of the affected WordPress site, including the deletion of critical files and directories.

Detection

No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.

Prioritized remediation

Upgrade to Cache Enabler version 1.8.17 or later.
