CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-10625 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Vanquish Woocommerce Support Ticket System. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 37% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
The WooCommerce Support Ticket System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion in all versions through 17.7. The flaw stems from insufficient path validation inside the delete_tmp_uploaded_file() function, which permits path traversal (CWE-22) and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated attackers can supply crafted file paths to the vulnerable function and delete any file readable by the web server. Successful deletion of critical files such as wp-config.php can disable the site or enable remote code execution by allowing subsequent database or configuration manipulation.
The Wordfence advisory and the Codecanyon plugin page indicate that the issue is resolved in versions newer than 17.7; administrators are advised to update immediately.
EPSS for the CVE rose from low values after disclosure to a peak of 0.5221 on 2025-12-18 before receding to the current 0.4062, indicating that exploitation interest increased measurably in the months following publication.

Vulnerability Data
The WooCommerce Support Ticket System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_tmp_uploaded_file() function in all versions up to, and including, 17.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.
