Summary

CVE-2025-24677 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.9 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 37.0th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-24677 is an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability, classified under CWE-94, in the WordPress plugin "wpspin Post/Page Copying Tool postpage-import-export-with-custom-fields-taxonomies." This flaw enables Remote Code Inclusion and affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 2.0.3. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low complexity, and potential for high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Low-privileged authenticated users (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network without user interaction. Successful exploitation allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary remote code on the WordPress server, achieving full remote code execution (RCE) with changed scope to the server context, potentially leading to complete server compromise.

The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/postpage-import-export-with-custom-fields-taxonomies/vulnerability/wordpress-post-page-copying-tool-to-export-and-import-post-page-for-cross-site-migration-plugin-2-0-3-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability?_s_id=cve provides details on the vulnerability and recommended mitigations.
