CVE-2025-2004
Simple WP Events <= 1.8.17 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion
CVSS Score
9.1
EPSS Score
0.0%
EPSS Percentile
0th
The Simple WP Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the wpe_delete_file AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.17. This makes it possible for unauthenticated 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). CVE-2025-32509 is a duplicate of this.
