Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-46490 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: wordwebsoftware Crossword Compiler Puzzles. 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-2025-46490/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46490/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-46490","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46490/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-46490","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5857-r24c-jg46"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can upload malicious web shells to the server via the Crossword Compiler Puzzles plugin, leading to remote code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in wordwebsoftware Crossword Compiler Puzzles crossword-compiler-puzzles allows Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server.This issue affects Crossword Compiler Puzzles: from n/a through \u003c= 5.2.","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 Crossword Compiler Puzzles plugin \u003c= 5.2 - Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46490","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"file_upload","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Multi-Column Taxonomy List plugin \u003c= 1.5 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46491"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Bulk Assign Linked Products For WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.1 - Broken Access Control Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46489"},"products":["Crossword Compiler Puzzles"],"published":"2025-05-23","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":"2026-04-28","vendors":["wordwebsoftware"]},"summary":"Attackers can upload malicious web shells to the server via the Crossword Compiler Puzzles plugin, leading to remote code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46490/"}
