CVE-2025-2005
CWE-434Published: April 2, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Front End Users plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the file uploads field of the registration form in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.32. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Risk Analysis
The Front End Users plugin for WordPress fails to validate file types during registration, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files. This critical flaw can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution on the host server.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity.
Update the Front End Users plugin to a version beyond 3.2.32. Implement strict file extension and MIME type validation on all upload forms.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-2005 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
