What is CVE-2025-9048?
CVE-2025-9048 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Wptobe-memberships, published on 23 Aug 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Wptobe-memberships plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the del_img_ajax_call() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
