CYAN Backup, CVE-2025-12092

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2025-12092

Application

CYAN Backup

Published on
Nov 08, 2025
Research Description
The CYAN Backup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'delete' functionality in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.4. 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).
Affected versions
max 2.5.5.
Status
vulnerable
