Overview

The School Management System for WordPress plugin (versions up to 93.2.0) contains a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-6079, discovered on August 16, 2025. The vulnerability stems from missing file type validation in the homework.php file, affecting WordPress installations with this plugin (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) due to insufficient file type validation mechanisms in the homework.php file. The CVSS v3.1 score is 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, indicating a serious security risk that requires network access but low attack complexity (Wordfence).

Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Student-level access or higher to upload arbitrary files to the affected site's server. This capability could potentially lead to remote code execution, giving attackers significant control over the compromised system (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should upgrade their School Management System for WordPress plugin to a version newer than 93.2.0 as soon as it becomes available. In the interim, it is recommended to implement additional file upload restrictions and closely monitor file upload activities (Wordfence).
