CVE-2025-13645Modula 2.13.1 - 2.13.2 - Authenticated (Author+) Arbitrary File Deletion
High 7.2
In plain English
A high-severity path traversal in Image Gallery – Photo Grid & Video Gallery from wpchill. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.1% (higher than 66% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Modula Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'ajax_unzip_file' function in versions 2.13.1 to 2.13.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-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).
