CVE-2025-14675: Metabox Meta Box

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 2.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Meta Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'ajax_delete_file' function in all versions up to, and including, 5.11.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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).

Affected products

• Metabox Meta Box: up to and including 5.11.1
