Qi Blocks, CVE-2025-12182

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2025-12182

Application

Qi Blocks

Published on
Nov 15, 2025
Research Description
The Qi Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the `resize_image_callback()` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user has permission to resize a specific attachment. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to resize arbitrary media library images belonging to other users, which can result in unintended file writes, disk consumption, and server resource abuse through processing of large images.
Affected versions
max 1.4.4.
Status
vulnerable
