When the right file, such as wp-config.php, is deleted, it can pave the way for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-5310-remote-code-execution-vulnerability-in-dover-fueling-solutions-progauge-maglink-lx-consoles\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"65527\">remote code execution<\/a>, potentially leading to system takeover.<br \/>\nIf WooCommerce is enabled, attackers will need a higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameeba.com\/blog\/cve-2025-44655-unauthorized-access-and-privilege-escalation-in-totolink-routers\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"73289\">privilege level &#8211; contributor-level access<\/a> and above.
