CVE-2025-1972

Export and Import Users and Customers <= 2.6.2 - Directory Traversal to Authenticated (Administrator+) Limited Arbitrary File Deletion via admin_log_page Function

Published Mar 22, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 2.7 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Export and Import Users and Customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the admin_log_page() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary log files on the server.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The Export and Import Users and Customers plugin for WordPress allows an authenticated attacker with Administrator privileges to delete arbitrary log files on the server due to insufficient file path validation in the admin_log_page() function. If exploited, the attacker can remove or tamper with log files, creating a denial‑of‑service scenario or erasing audit trail evidence. The weakness is classified as CWE‑73.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Webtoffee Export and Import Users and Customers WordPress plugin. All versions up to and including 2.6.2 are impacted. Users of this plugin on any WordPress installation should confirm their plugin version.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.7 indicates low to moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests exploitation is unlikely but not impossible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires the attacker to be a legitimate WordPress Administrator or higher and to supply a crafted path to the admin_log_page function; the plugin does not perform proper path sanitization, enabling the deletion of any file the web server can access.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Export and Import Users and Customers plugin to version 2.6.3 or later to eliminate the flawed path validation. 
  • If the latest version cannot be applied, remove or deactivate the plugin entirely until a fix is available. 
  • Restrict file permissions on the WordPress log directory so that only the web server user can delete files, thereby limiting the impact of any future unpatched path‑validation flaws. 
  • Optionally disable or restrict access to the admin_log_page functionality for non‑essential administrators to minimize the attack surface.
