CVE-2025-15487Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Administrator arbitrary file read via file path traversal

Published Feb 4, 2026 · Updated Feb 4, 2026

Path traversal in Bowo Code Explorer 1.4.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files via the file parameter. The administrative file-view handler accepts traversal sequences without constraining the resolved path to its intended browsing root. Administrator-level access is required, and the reported consequence is read-only disclosure of files accessible to the WordPress server process.
