CVE-2025-2932: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in jkdevstudio JKDEVKIT
The JKDEVKIT plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'font_upload_handler' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.4. 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 the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). If WooCommerce is enabled, attackers will need Contributor-level access and above.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-2932 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the JKDEVKIT WordPress plugin's 'font_upload_handler' function. Due to insufficient validation of file paths, authenticated users with low-level privileges can delete arbitrary files on the server. This flaw exists in all versions up to 1.9.4. When WooCommerce is enabled, the required privilege level increases to Contributor. The vulnerability can lead to remote code execution by deleting critical files such as wp-config.php. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating a high severity vulnerability exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access (or Contributor-level if WooCommerce is enabled) can delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the WordPress site. This can result in denial of service or remote code execution if key files like wp-config.php are deleted. The vulnerability compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently available. Until a patch is released, restrict user privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to file deletions via the plugin. Avoid granting Subscriber or Contributor roles to untrusted users. Review plugin usage and consider disabling JKDEVKIT if possible until a fix is provided.
