CVSS v3.1

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.

Recommended Action

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.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

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.
