Technical description

Sucuri Security WordPress plugin through version 2.7.3 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the pageIntegritySubmission() method in src/integrity.lib.php that allows authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary files by supplying directory traversal sequences in the sucuriscan_integrity parameter. Attackers can manipulate the unsanitized file path concatenated with ABSPATH to traverse outside the WordPress installation directory and invoke unlink() on sensitive files such as wp-config.php and .htaccess, causing site outage or enabling malicious reinstallation.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
