WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Bit File Manager WordPress plugin (versions up to 6.7) contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-1725) that was disclosed on June 3, 2025. The vulnerability affects the file upload functionality, specifically related to SVG files. The plugin is a free and open-source file manager and code editor for WordPress (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when handling SVG file uploads. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) (NVD, Wordfence).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts through SVG file uploads. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the affected SVG file (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should update to a version newer than 6.7 when available. Until then, it is recommended to restrict SVG file upload capabilities and implement additional input validation for file uploads (NVD).
