What is CVE-2025-7645?
CVE-2025-7645 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in htplugins Extensions For CF7 (Contact form 7 Database, Conditional Fields and Redirection), published on 22 Jul 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
The Extensions For CF7 (Contact form 7 Database, Conditional Fields and Redirection) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'delete-file' field in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, when an administrator deletes the submission, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
Weakness: CWE-22
