CVE-2025-14675

Meta Box <= 5.11.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Deletion

Meta Box <= 5.11.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Deletion

The Meta Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'ajax_delete_file' function in all versions up to, and including, 5.11.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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).
Mögliche Gegenmaßnahme
Meta Box: Update to version 5.11.2, or a newer patched version

CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
