CVE-2025-69374 is a vulnerability classified as Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP programs, specifically within the SolverWp Eleblog – Elementor Blog And Magazine Addons WordPress plugin. This flaw allows Remote File Inclusion (RFI) or Local File Inclusion (LFI) attacks by failing to properly sanitize or validate user-supplied input used in PHP include or require statements. Attackers can exploit this by manipulating the filename parameter to include malicious remote scripts or local files, leading to arbitrary code execution on the web server hosting the vulnerable plugin. This can result in full system compromise, data theft, defacement, or pivoting to internal networks. The vulnerability affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 2.0.3. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no public exploits have been observed to date. The vulnerability was reserved at the end of 2025 and published in early 2026. The plugin is widely used in WordPress sites focused on blogging and magazine content, making it a valuable target for attackers seeking to exploit popular CMS extensions. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available, increasing the urgency for mitigation.

The impact of CVE-2025-69374 is significant for organizations running WordPress sites with the affected Eleblog plugin. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. This can compromise sensitive data, deface websites, deploy malware, or use the compromised server as a pivot point for further attacks within an organization's network. The vulnerability threatens confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. Given the plugin's use in content-heavy websites, attacks could disrupt business operations, damage brand reputation, and lead to regulatory or compliance issues if customer data is exposed. The absence of authentication requirements and the potential for remote exploitation increase the risk. Organizations relying on this plugin for their web presence are at risk of targeted attacks, especially those in sectors with high online visibility such as media, publishing, and e-commerce.

To mitigate CVE-2025-69374, organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations for the presence of the Eleblog – Elementor Blog And Magazine Addons plugin. If detected, they should monitor vendor communications for official patches and apply them promptly once available. Until a patch is released, administrators should consider disabling or removing the plugin to eliminate exposure. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied data that may influence file inclusion paths. Configure PHP settings to disable allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen directives to prevent remote file inclusion. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting suspicious file inclusion attempts. Regularly back up website data and monitor logs for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Additionally, restrict file permissions on the server to limit the impact of any successful inclusion attacks. Organizations should also educate developers and administrators about secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in custom plugins or themes.
