CVE-2025-47452Network attack vector

Contributor-level web-shell upload via missing file validation

Published Jun 17, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in RexTheme WP VR 8.5.26 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload executable web shells. The plugin accepts dangerous file types without validation, but public advisories do not identify the upload handler or affected parameter. Contributor-level access is required; a stored executable web shell permits code execution in the web server context.
