CVE-2025-14997 – BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types

CVE ID : CVE-2025-14997

Published : Jan. 6, 2026, 5:16 a.m. | 1 hour, 11 minutes ago

Description : The BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the ‘delete_field’ function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, 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).

Severity: 7.2 | HIGH
