CVE-2025-1305: Spicethemes Newsblogger

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The NewsBlogger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 0.2.5.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the newsblogger_install_and_activate_plugin() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files and achieve remote code execution via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected products

• Spicethemes Newsblogger: before 0.2.5.5 (fixed in 0.2.5.5)
