CVE-2025-12960: Iworks Simple Csv Table

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Iworks Simple Csv Table: up to and including 1.0.1
