CVE-2025-13069: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in ideastocode Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload
The Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3. This is due to insufficient file type validation detecting ICO files, allowing double extension files with the appropriate magic bytes to bypass sanitization while being accepted as a valid ICO file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-13069 is a file upload vulnerability in the ideastocode Enable SVG, WebP, and ICO Upload WordPress plugin (up to version 1.1.3). The plugin fails to properly validate ICO file types, allowing attackers with author-level privileges or higher to upload files with double extensions that contain valid ICO magic bytes. This bypasses sanitization controls and enables arbitrary file upload, potentially leading to remote code execution on the server hosting the WordPress site.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with author-level permissions or above can upload arbitrary files to the server due to improper file type validation. This can lead to remote code execution, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 8.8, indicating a significant risk if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict author-level user permissions where possible and monitor for suspicious file uploads. Avoid using the affected plugin version and consider disabling it if not essential.
