CVE-2025-10050: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in eskapism Developer Loggers for Simple History
The Developer Loggers for Simple History plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 0.5 via the enabled_loggers parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10050 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the Developer Loggers for Simple History WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 0.5. It allows authenticated administrators to manipulate the enabled_loggers parameter to perform Local File Inclusion, enabling arbitrary PHP code execution on the server. This can result in unauthorized code execution, data disclosure, and access control bypass. The vulnerability requires high privileges (Administrator) and does not involve user interaction beyond authentication.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Administrator privileges to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server hosting the plugin. This can lead to full compromise of the web server environment, including access to sensitive data, bypass of access controls, and persistent code execution. The CVSS score of 6.6 reflects a medium severity impact with network attack vector, high privileges required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Administrators should restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity. Check the vendor or plugin repository regularly for updates or patches addressing this issue. Avoid uploading or enabling untrusted PHP files that could be included via the vulnerable parameter.
