WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The WordPress Review Plugin: The Ultimate Solution for Building a Review Website plugin is affected by a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CVE-2025-2158) discovered on May 10, 2025. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 5.3.5, impacting the plugin's Post custom fields functionality (NVD, Wiz).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.8 HIGH. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to include and execute arbitrary files on the server through the Post custom fields feature (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability enables attackers to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, and potentially achieve code execution in cases where PHP file types can be uploaded and included, or when pearcmd is enabled on a server with registerargcargv also enabled (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should update to a version newer than 5.3.5 when available. Until then, it is recommended to restrict access to the Post custom fields functionality to trusted users only and ensure proper access controls are in place (Wiz).
