CVE-2025-2007Network attack vector

Arbitrary file deletion via unchecked image path

Published Apr 1, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Relative path traversal in WP Ultimate CSV Importer 7.19 and earlier and 7.20 allows remote authenticated users to delete server files. The deleteImage() function accepts an insufficiently validated image path and uses it for file deletion, allowing traversal outside the intended image location. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; deletion of a critical file such as wp-config.php can disable the site and enable code execution through reconfiguration.
