CVE-2025-7846
Last modified
CVE-2025-7846 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The WordPress User Extra Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the save_fields() function in all versions up to, and including, 16.7. 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 0.64% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
