CVE-2025-7443: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in berqwp BerqWP – Automated All-In-One Page Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals, Cache, CDN, Images, CSS, and JavaScript
The BerqWP – Automated All-In-One Page Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals, Cache, CDN, Images, CSS, and JavaScript plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation via the store_javascript_cache.php file in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.42. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The BerqWP plugin for WordPress, which optimizes page speed and manages caching and CDN, contains a vulnerability (CVE-2025-7443) due to insufficient validation of uploaded file types in the store_javascript_cache.php endpoint. This allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, potentially enabling remote code execution. The issue affects all versions up to 2.2.42. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with network attack vector and no privileges or user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the server hosting the vulnerable BerqWP plugin, which may lead to remote code execution. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint if possible and monitor for suspicious file uploads. Avoid using affected versions of the plugin in production environments.
