An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-31098 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: DeBounce Email Validator. 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-2025-31098/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-31098/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-31098","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-31098/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-31098","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8v8h-5vjj-58xx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the DeBounce Email Validator plugin to read arbitrary files on the server.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","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 debounce DeBounce Email Validator debounce-io-email-validator allows PHP Local File Inclusion.\n\nThis issue affects DeBounce Email Validator: from n/a through \u003c= 5.7.","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 DeBounce Email Validator plugin \u003c= 5.7 - Local File Inclusion Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-31098","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 Slider by BestWebSoft plugin \u003c= 1.1.0 - SQL Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-31099"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Material Dashboard plugin \u003c= 1.4.5 - Local File Inclusion Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-31097"},"products":["DeBounce Email Validator"],"published":"2025-04-03","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-13","vendors":["debounce"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the DeBounce Email Validator plugin to read arbitrary files on the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-31098/"}
