CVE-2025-9518
Last modified
CVE-2025-9518 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.2/10 on the CVSS scale. The atec Debug plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation on the 'debug_path' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.22. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-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 0.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
