CVE-2025-8575: Aurelienlws Lws Cleaner

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The LWS Cleaner plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'lws_cl_delete_file' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-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

• Aurelienlws Lws Cleaner: up to and including 2.4.1.3
