CVE-2025-4828 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Support Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the sb_file_delete function in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.0. This makes it possible for attackers 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 0.83% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
