Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-22305 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Essential Plugin Hero Banner Ultimate. 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-2025-22305/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22305/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-22305","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22305/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-22305","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h2jh-5338-vh22"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the Hero Banner Ultimate plugin to read sensitive files or execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-98","name":"Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program"}],"description":"Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Essential Plugin Hero Banner Ultimate hero-banner-ultimate allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Hero Banner Ultimate: from n/a through \u003c= 1.4.4.","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 Hero Banner Ultimate plugin \u003c= 1.4.4 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22305","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 Link Whisper Free plugin \u003c= 0.7.7 - Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22306"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP Visitor Statistics plugin \u003c= 7.5 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22304"},"products":["Hero Banner Ultimate"],"published":"2025-01-07","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":["Essential Plugin"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the Hero Banner Ultimate plugin to read sensitive files or execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22305/"}
