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-2025-54021 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mitchell Bennis Simple File List. 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-2025-54021/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54021/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-54021","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54021/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-54021","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4mp5-q674-48f6"],"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 path traversal flaw in the Simple File List plugin to download 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":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","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 Mitchell Bennis Simple File List simple-file-list allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Simple File List: from n/a through \u003c= 6.1.14.","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 Simple File List plugin \u003c= 6.1.14 - Arbitrary File Download vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-54021","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 Coupon Affiliates plugin \u003c= 6.4.0 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-54022"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress AntiSpam for Contact Form 7 plugin \u003c= 0.6.3 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-54020"},"products":["Simple File List"],"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":["Mitchell Bennis"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Simple File List plugin to download arbitrary files from the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54021/"}
