CVE-2025-5927 Details
Description
The Everest Forms (Pro) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_entry_files() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.4. 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). The vulnerability requires an admin to trigger the deletion via deletion of a form entry and cannot be carried out by the attacker alone.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary file deletion has been identified in the Everest Forms (Pro) plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.9.4. The issue arises from inadequate file path validation in the delete_entry_files() function, enabling unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server. This deletion can lead to remote code execution if critical files, such as wp-config.php, are removed. The vulnerability requires an admin to initiate the deletion by removing a form entry, preventing the attacker from exploiting it independently.
Users are advised to update to Everest Forms Pro version 1.9.5 or a newer patched version.
