Path Traversal in Simple CSV Table (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2025-12960)
Summary
Path traversal in Simple CSV Table (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2025-12960). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via href.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The Simple CSV Table plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 via the href parameter in the [csv] shortcode. This is due to insufficient path validation before concatenating user-supplied input to a base directory path. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information such as database credentials and authentication keys.
