CVE-2018-15818 describes a critical arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in Repute ARForms versions 3.5.1 and prior. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted request to admin-ajax.php, allowing them to delete any file on the server with web server privileges. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability poses a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to denial of service or data loss. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the potential impact remains high.
