Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This WordPress plugin issue can allow unauthenticated remote users to delete files through path traversal. The main business risk is site outage or broken functionality, not data theft according to the supplied CVSS scoring.
Executive priority
Treat as high priority for any public WordPress property using this plugin. File deletion can cause downtime and recovery effort, and the vulnerability does not require authentication according to the CVSS vector.
Technical view
CVE-2024-52447 affects Contact Page With Google Map through version 1.6.1. It is classified as CWE-35 path traversal and described as arbitrary file deletion. CVSS 3.1 is 8.6: network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, changed scope, and high availability impact.
Likely exposure
Public WordPress sites running the contact-page-with-google-map plugin at version 1.6.1 or earlier are the likely exposure set. The source bundle does not identify other affected products or platforms.
Exploitation context
The source bundle marks CISA KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of active exploitation. However, the CVSS vector indicates remote, unauthenticated exploitation with low attack complexity, making exposed installations urgent to review.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Patchstack reference in the bundle. Do not assume active exploitation, affected forks, or a specific patch version unless confirmed by vendor or Patchstack guidance.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for contact-page-with-google-map and record installed versions.
- Remove or disable the plugin where business use is not required.
- For versions <=1.6.1, check Patchstack and vendor guidance for a fixed release or official mitigation.
- Back up and monitor WordPress filesystem integrity until remediation is complete.
- Restrict unnecessary public access to affected plugin functionality where operationally feasible.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin slug contact-page-with-google-map is installed and active.
- Compare installed plugin versions against the affected range through 1.6.1.
- Review web and WordPress logs for suspicious unauthenticated requests to plugin endpoints.
- Check filesystem integrity for missing or unexpectedly modified WordPress files.
- Document remediation status for each affected site.
