CVE-2025-2780: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in WofficeIO Woffice Core
The Woffice Core plugin for WordPress, used by the Woffice Theme, is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'saveFeaturedImage' function in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.21. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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
The Woffice Core plugin for WordPress suffers from an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) in the 'saveFeaturedImage' function. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to upload arbitrary files without proper validation of file types. Such capability may enable attackers to execute remote code on the server hosting the affected WordPress site. The issue affects all versions up to 5.4.21. The CVSS v3.1 score is 8.8, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no patch or remediation details are provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can upload arbitrary files to the server due to lack of file type validation. This can lead to remote code execution, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required beyond authentication.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict user roles and permissions to minimize exposure. Monitor for suspicious file uploads and consider disabling or restricting the 'saveFeaturedImage' functionality if feasible.
