Other vulnerabilities in Import WP
See all- CVE-2026-14925High
The Import WP WordPress plugin before 2.14.23 does not perform any authorization check on one of its export-file download handlers. Unauthenticated attackers can download export files generated by administrators, which may contain user personal data such as email addresses, login names and roles. Exploitation requires an unconsumed export to already exist and a low-entropy, time-based download key to be obtained.
- CVE-2025-12137Medium
The Import WP plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 2.14.16 is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read. The REST API endpoint accepts arbitrary absolute file paths without proper validation in the attach_file() function when handling file_local actions, allowing authenticated attackers with administrator-level access to read server files.
