CVE-2025-14675 identifies a high-severity arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the Meta Box plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 5.11.1. This flaw (CVSS 7.2) stems from insufficient file path validation, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to delete arbitrary files on the server. Such deletion can easily lead to remote code execution, for example, by targeting critical files like wp-config.php. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no public exploit code available, and minimal community discussion or media coverage. The EPSS score also indicates a very low probability of exploitation.
