WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Envolve Plugin for WordPress (CVE-2024-11615) contains a vulnerability affecting all versions up to and including 1.0, discovered and disclosed on May 5, 2025. The vulnerability exists in the plugin's language file handling functionality, specifically in the 'zetradeleteLanguageFile' and 'zetradeleteFontsFile' functions (NVD, Wiz).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper validation of files and their paths before deletion operations. The affected functions fail to implement proper security checks, leading to arbitrary file deletion capabilities. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) with a vector string of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The weakness has been classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) (NVD, Wiz).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to delete language files from the WordPress installation. This could potentially affect the website's functionality and user experience by removing necessary language resources (NVD, Wiz).

Mitigation and workarounds

Website administrators running the Envolve Plugin should update to a version newer than 1.0 once available. Until a patch is released, it is recommended to consider implementing additional security measures or temporarily disabling the plugin if the functionality is not critical (Wiz).
