Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190). What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly addresses the insufficient file path validation in alone_import_pack_restore_data() by requiring validation of inputs to prevent arbitrary file paths from enabling deletions.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Requires timely identification, reporting, and correction of the flaw in the Goza theme, mitigating the vulnerability through patching up to version 3.2.2.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

prevent

Enforces approved authorizations to block unauthenticated access to the vulnerable file deletion function.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

Why these techniques?

Unauthenticated remote arbitrary file deletion in a public-facing WordPress theme directly matches exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190), enabling RCE via deletion of critical files such as wp-config.php.

NVD Description

The Goza - Nonprofit Charity WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the alone_import_pack_restore_data() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.2. 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).

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-10134, published on 2025-09-09, affects the Goza - Nonprofit Charity WordPress Theme for WordPress in all versions up to and including 3.2.2. The vulnerability enables arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the alone_import_pack_restore_data() function. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path).

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. By deleting arbitrary files on the server, attackers can achieve significant impact, such as remote code execution through the deletion of critical files like wp-config.php.
