What is CVE-2025-2158?

The WordPress Review Plugin is susceptible to Local File Inclusion flaws accessible to authenticated users with Contributor-level access and above. This vulnerability allows attackers to leverage Post custom fields to include and execute arbitrary files from the server. By exploiting this issue, attackers may bypass security restrictions, gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, or execute PHP code from files that can be uploaded and included. If the server has pearcmd and register_argc_argv enabled, the potential for code execution increases, raising significant security concerns for users of this WordPress plugin.
