CVE-2026-73033
Authenticated administrators using the Sucuri Security plugin up to version 2.7.3 can exploit a path manipulation flaw in the integrity.lib.php file's pageIntegritySubmission method by submitting carefully crafted directory traversal sequences via the sucuriscan_integrity parameter, potentially leading to deletion of critical files like wp-config.php and .htaccess outside the WordPress root directory. This vulnerability allows attackers to disrupt site operations or even reinstall the site maliciously.
