CVE-2025-3300Network attack vector

Administrator file read and write via path traversal

Published Apr 24, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Path traversal in WPMasterToolKit 1.15.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read and modify arbitrary server files. The File Manager accepts administrator-supplied paths for filesystem operations without keeping the resolved target within its allowed root. Administrator access and the File Manager are required, exposing sensitive files and permitting changes wherever the web server process can write.
