CVE-2025-12960Simple CSV Table <= 1.0.1 - Directory Traversal to Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Read
Medium 6.5
In plain English
A medium-severity path traversal in Simple CSV Table from iworks. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.7% (higher than 53% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
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.
