Import WP – Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress, CVE-2025-12137

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-12137
Home page URL: Security reports for Import WP – Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress
Application: Import WP – Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress
Published on: Nov 01, 2025
Research Description: The Import WP – Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 2.14.16. This is due to the plugin's REST API endpoint accepting arbitrary absolute file paths without proper validation in the 'attach_file()' function when handling 'file_local' actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to read arbitrary files on the server's filesystem, including sensitive configuration files and system files via the 'local_url' parameter.
Affected versions: max 2.14.17.
Status: vulnerable
