CWE-918Published: March 22, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Export and Import Users and Customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2 via the validate_file() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-1970 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 7.6.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
