CVE-2025-7846: Vanquish WordPress User Extra Fields

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The WordPress User Extra Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the save_fields() function in all versions up to, and including, 16.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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).
