Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mayosis Core plugin for WordPress, a popular plugin used by many WordPress sites, is now under threat from a newly discovered vulnerability, CVE-2025-1565. This vulnerability could allow unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage, making it a significant cybersecurity concern.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-1565
\nSeverity: High (7.5 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise, sensitive data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Mayosis Core WordPress plugin | All versions up to and including 5.4.1<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability resides in the library\/wave-audio\/peaks\/remote_dl.php file of the Mayosis Core plugin. An unauthenticated attacker can send a malicious request to this file and exploit the Arbitrary File Read vulnerability. This allows the attacker to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which may include sensitive information.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

A conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited is shown below. By sending a HTTP GET request to the vulnerable file, an attacker could potentially access sensitive data.<\/p>\n

GET \/wp-content\/plugins\/mayosis-core\/library\/wave-audio\/peaks\/remote_dl.php?file=..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/wp-config.php HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
Users are advised to apply the vendor patch once it becomes available. In the meantime, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as temporary mitigation. By blocking or closely monitoring traffic to the affected file (remote_dl.php), these systems can help prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
