Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-54750 affects the WordPress Funnel Builder by FunnelKit plugin through version 3.11.1. The flaw can allow local file inclusion, which may expose sensitive files or affect site integrity and availability. It is rated high, but the provided sources do not show confirmed active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as a near-term remediation item for any public WordPress property using this plugin. Business urgency is high because impact is rated high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but urgency is below emergency without evidence of active exploitation.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-98 improper filename control in a PHP include/require path, resulting in local file inclusion in the funnel-builder plugin. CVSS 3.1 is 7.5 with network attack vector, high complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and high CIA impact.
Likely exposure
Internet-facing WordPress sites using Funnel Builder by FunnelKit version 3.11.1 or earlier are the relevant exposure. The bundle does not identify vulnerable endpoints, required site configuration, or whether multisite changes risk.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector indicates remote network reachability with no privileges, but high complexity and required user interaction. KEV is false, and the provided sources do not cite in-the-wild exploitation or public exploit details.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to CVE metadata and Patchstack listing in the supplied bundle. Do not assume exploitability details, vulnerable parameters, or fixed versions beyond what vendor guidance confirms. The UI:R and AC:H metrics should shape validation and prioritization.
Mitigation direction
- Identify WordPress sites using Funnel Builder by FunnelKit.
- If version is 3.11.1 or earlier, check vendor and Patchstack guidance immediately.
- Update to a vendor-confirmed non-affected release when available.
- Disable or remove the plugin where business impact allows.
- Prioritize externally exposed and high-value WordPress sites first.
Validation and detection
- Confirm installed plugin name and version on each WordPress site.
- Verify whether the installed version is 3.11.1 or earlier.
- Check vendor or Patchstack records for fixed-version guidance.
- Review web and PHP logs for unusual include errors or file access patterns.
- Document remediation status for each exposed WordPress property.
