CVE-2025-13377: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in 10web 10Web Booster – Website speed optimization, Cache & Page Speed optimizer
The 10Web Booster – Website speed optimization, Cache & Page Speed optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary folder deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the get_cache_dir_for_page_from_url() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.32.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary folders on the server, which can easily lead to a loss of data or a denial of service condition.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The 10Web Booster plugin for WordPress suffers from a CWE-22 path traversal vulnerability in the get_cache_dir_for_page_from_url() function. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with low privileges (Subscriber and above) to delete arbitrary directories on the server by exploiting improper validation of file paths. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.32.7. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.6, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. The impact includes integrity and availability loss due to arbitrary folder deletion.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access can delete arbitrary folders on the server, potentially causing significant data loss or denial of service conditions. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality but severely affects integrity and availability of the affected system.
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 10Web regarding a patch or official mitigation.
