An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-22288 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WPMU DEV - Your All-in-One WordPress Platform Smush Image Compression and Optimization. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22288/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22288/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-22288","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22288/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-22288","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mwrg-545v-m46r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Smush WordPress plugin to read arbitrary files from the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-35","name":"Path Traversal: '.../...//'"}],"description":"Path Traversal: '.../...//' vulnerability in WPMU DEV - Your All-in-One WordPress Platform Smush Image Compression and Optimization wp-smushit allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Smush Image Compression and Optimization: from n/a through \u003c= 3.17.0.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Smush Image Compression and Optimization plugin \u003c= 3.17.0 - Directory Traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22288","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress LTL Freight Quotes – Unishippers Edition plugin \u003c= 2.5.8 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22289"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress LTL Freight Quotes – FreightQuote Edition plugin \u003c= 2.3.11 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22287"},"products":["Smush Image Compression and Optimization"],"published":"2025-11-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["WPMU DEV - Your All-in-One WordPress Platform"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Smush WordPress plugin to read arbitrary files from the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22288/"}
