CVE-2025-2328: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in glenwpcoder Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7
The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'dnd_remove_uploaded_files' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.8.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add arbitrary file paths (such as ../../../../wp-config.php) to uploaded files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when an Administrator deletes the message. Exploiting this vulnerability requires the Flamingo plugin to be installed and activated.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-2328 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress. The issue arises from insufficient validation of file paths in the 'dnd_remove_uploaded_files' function, allowing attackers to specify arbitrary file paths for deletion. This can lead to deletion of sensitive files on the server. Exploitation requires the presence of the Flamingo plugin and involves an unauthenticated attacker adding crafted file paths. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high severity with network attack vector, no privileges required, user interaction needed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary file deletion on the server, including critical WordPress configuration files, which may result in remote code execution when an administrator deletes the message. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, administrators should consider disabling or removing the Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin if the Flamingo plugin is also installed and activated. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply any official fixes once released.
