CVE-2025-23952Network attack vector

Unauthenticated local file disclosure

Published Mar 26, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026

Local file inclusion in ntm Custom Field List Widget 1.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to display local file contents. Patchstack has not published the affected parameter, file, or include/require call, so the code-level mechanism remains undisclosed. The request is unauthenticated and network-reachable, and the documented consequence is disclosure of files readable by the WordPress process.
