CVE-2025-8141
Last modified
CVE-2025-8141 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_associated_files function in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated 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 0.59% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
