CVE-2025-2006:
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Inline Image Upload for BBPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads in versions up to and including 1.1.19. This vulnerability was assigned CVE-2025-2006 and was discovered in March 2025. The vulnerability affects WordPress installations with the BBPress plugin installed (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from missing file type validation in the file uploading functionality. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) (NVD, Wordfence).

Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server, potentially enabling remote code execution. When the 'Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies' setting is enabled, the vulnerability may also be exploitable by unauthenticated attackers (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Website administrators should update the Inline Image Upload for BBPress plugin to a version newer than 1.1.19 when available. If an update is not available, it is recommended to disable the plugin or implement strict file upload validation at the web application firewall level (NVD).
