CVE-2025-2525: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in iqonicdesign Streamit
The Streamit theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'st_Authentication_Controller::edit_profile' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level and above permissions, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-2525 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Streamit WordPress theme (versions up to 4.0.1) caused by inadequate validation of uploaded file types in the 'st_Authentication_Controller::edit_profile' function. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level or higher permissions can upload arbitrary files, potentially enabling remote code execution. The vulnerability is rated high severity (CVSS 8.8) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with minimal privileges to upload arbitrary files to the server hosting the Streamit theme. This can lead to remote code execution, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The high CVSS score reflects the critical impact on affected sites.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting file upload functionality in the affected component. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
