An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-48158 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Alex Githatu BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field. 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-2025-48158/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48158/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-48158","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48158/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-48158","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fw2c-m258-65f8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Alex Githatu BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field buddypress-xprofile-image-field allows Path Traversal.This issue affects BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field: from n/a through \u003c= 3.0.1.","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 BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field Plugin \u003c= 3.0.1 - Arbitrary File Deletion Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-48158","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 Youtube Vimeo Video Player and Slider WP Plugin \u003c= 3.8 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-48159"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Formality \u003c= 1.5.9 - Local File Inclusion Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-48157"},"products":["BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field"],"published":"2025-08-20","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Alex Githatu"]},"summary":"Attackers can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48158/"}
