CVE-2025-5014Home Villas | Real Estate WordPress Theme <= 2.8 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Deletion
High 8.8
In plain English
A high-severity path traversal in Home Villas | Real Estate WordPress Theme from Chimp Group. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.8% (higher than 58% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Home Villas | Real Estate WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'wp_rem_cs_widget_file_delete' function in all versions up to, and including, 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).
