CVE-2025-4946
Last modified
CVE-2025-4946 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Vikinger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the vikinger_delete_activity_media_ajax() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.32. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
