CVE-2025-12092
Last modified
CVE-2025-12092 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The CYAN Backup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'delete' functionality in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).. EPSS estimates a 0.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
