CVE-2025-13681

Summary

The BFG Tools – Extension Zipper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This is due to insufficient input validation on the user-supplied first_file parameter in the zip() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files and directories outside the intended /wp-content/plugins/ directory, which can contain sensitive information such as wp-config.php.
