CVE-2025-5391
Last modified
CVE-2025-5391 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The WooCommerce Purchase Orders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_file() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. 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 0.78% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
