Summary

CVE-2025-14301 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Wordpress (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 46th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as Other Platforms; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.

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 Integration Opvius AI for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, in all versions up to and including 1.3.0, contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) stemming from the `process_table_bulk_actions()` function in the logger module. This function processes user-supplied file paths via the `wsaw-log[]` POST parameter without authentication checks, nonce verification, or path validation, enabling arbitrary file operations on the server. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2026-01-14.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity. By sending crafted POST requests with malicious paths in the `wsaw-log[]` parameter, they can delete critical files such as `wp-config.php` or download sensitive configuration files, potentially leading to full server compromise, data exfiltration, or denial of service.

Advisories and references, including Wordfence threat intelligence and WordPress plugin Trac browser links to the affected code in `class-module-logger-hook.php` (lines 25, 41, 79, and 160), highlight the lack of input sanitization in the bulk action handler. Security practitioners should review these sources for detailed code analysis and update to patched versions beyond 1.3.0 where available.

As an AI integration plugin for WooCommerce, this vulnerability underscores risks in third-party AI extensions for WordPress, though no real-world exploitation details are specified in available data.

Vulnerability Data

The Integration Opvius AI for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This is due to the `process_table_bulk_actions()` function processing user-supplied file paths without authentication checks, nonce verification, or path…

validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete or download arbitrary files on the server via the `wsaw-log[]` POST parameter, which can be leveraged to delete critical files like `wp-config.php` or read sensitive configuration files.

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.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
