CVE-2025-12733: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in wpallimport WP All Import – Drag & Drop Import for CSV, XML, Excel & Google Sheets
The Import any XML, CSV or Excel File to WordPress (WP All Import) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.6. This is due to the use of eval() on unsanitized user-supplied input in the pmxi_if function within helpers/functions.php. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with import capabilities (typically administrators), to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server via crafted import templates. This can lead to remote code execution.

Technical Summary
CVE-2025-12733 is a code injection vulnerability classified as CWE-94 in the WP All Import – Drag & Drop Import for CSV, XML, Excel & Google Sheets WordPress plugin. The issue is due to unsafe use of eval() on user-supplied input within the pmxi_if function in helpers/functions.php. Authenticated users with import capabilities, typically administrators, can exploit this by crafting import templates that execute arbitrary PHP code remotely. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.9.6 and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with import permissions to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server hosting the WordPress site. This can lead to full compromise of the affected system, including data theft, site defacement, or further pivoting within the network. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict import capabilities to trusted administrators only and avoid importing untrusted or unaudited templates. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
