CVE-2025-12171 – RESTful Content Syndication 1.1.0 – 1.5.0 – Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Upload

CVE ID : CVE-2025-12171

Published : Nov. 1, 2025, 6:40 a.m. | 46 minutes ago

Description : The RESTful Content Syndication plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the ingest_image() function in versions 1.1.0 to 1.5.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site’s server which may make remote code execution possible. This requires the attacker have access to a defined third-party server as specified in the settings, so it is unlikely that this will be exploitable by contributor-level users, and more likely to be exploited by administrators who also have access to the plugin’s settings.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
