Published: Tue Jul 08 2025 (07/08/2025, 23:22:49 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Schiocco
Product: Support Board

Description

The Support Board plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the sb_file_delete function in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.0. This makes it possible for attackers 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). An attacker can leverage CVE-2025-4855 vulnerability to exploit this vulnerability unauthenticated.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-4828 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in the Support Board WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.8.0). The vulnerability exists due to improper limitation of pathname inputs in the sb_file_delete function, allowing attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to remote code execution if key files like wp-config.php are deleted or manipulated. The vulnerability can be exploited unauthenticated and may be leveraged in conjunction with CVE-2025-4855 for exploitation. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided in the available data.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the vulnerable plugin. This can result in complete compromise of the WordPress site, including remote code execution and potential full server takeover. The critical CVSS score (9.8) reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, it is recommended to restrict access to the vulnerable plugin, disable or remove the Support Board plugin if not essential, and monitor for updates from the vendor. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted users or networks.
