Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the "kc_installed_extensions" AJAX action in the "kingcomposer/includes/kc.ajax.php" script. A remote authenticated attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and recursively delete any folders and files, for instance by sending a name=../../../wp-admin/ POST request to delete the content of the ‘/wp-admin/’ folder.
Remediation
Install updates from vendor's website.
