What is CVE-2025-7846?

The WordPress User Extra Fields plugin is affected by a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and above to execute arbitrary file deletions on the server. This arises from inadequate validation of file paths in the save_fields() function. An attacker could exploit this flaw to delete critical files, potentially leading to remote code execution, particularly if key configuration files like wp-config.php are targeted. Users are advised to update to the latest version and implement security measures to mitigate risks.
