CVE-2025-4370
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Brizy – Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited file uploads due to missing authorization on process_external_asset_urls function as well as missing path validation in store_file function in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.20. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload .TXT files on the affected site's server.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
