CVE-2025-13322: CWE-73 External Control of File Name or Path in husainali52 WP AUDIO GALLERY
The WP AUDIO GALLERY plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in all versions up to, and including, 2.0. This is due to the `wpag_uploadaudio_callback()` AJAX handler not properly validating user-supplied file paths in the `audio_upload` parameter before passing them to `unlink()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-13322 is a high-severity vulnerability in the WP AUDIO GALLERY WordPress plugin (up to version 2.0) caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths in the `audio_upload` parameter handled by the `wpag_uploadaudio_callback()` AJAX function. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level privileges can exploit this flaw to perform arbitrary file deletion on the server via the unlink() function. This can lead to serious consequences such as remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are deleted. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path). No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no patch or remediation guidance is currently provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the WordPress site by exploiting this vulnerability. This can disrupt site functionality and potentially enable remote code execution if critical files are removed. The impact is rated high due to the potential for significant integrity and availability damage.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories regarding patches or mitigations.
