CVE-2025-15546
MEDIUM 5.4 PoC AVAILABLEThe Iptanus File Upload WordPress plugin before 5.1.7 does not implement proper file handling when the duplicatepolicy setting is configured to "maintain both." Due to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition between the file existence check and the actual file write operation, an authenticated attacker can overwrite files uploaded by other users.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
