CVE-2025-1281

The BM Content Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the ux_cb_remove_layout_ajax() and ux_cb_tools_export_ajax() functions in all versions up to, and excluding, 3.17.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, 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).

Summary		(es) El plugin BM Content Builder para WordPress es vulnerable a la eliminación arbitraria de archivos debido a una validación insuficiente de la ruta de archivo en las funciones ux_cb_remove_layout_ajax() y ux_cb_tools_export_ajax() en todas las versiones anteriores a la 3.17.1. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Suscriptor y superior, eliminar archivos arbitrarios en el servidor, lo que puede conducir fácilmente a la ejecución remota de código cuando se elimina el archivo correcto (como wp-config.php).
