AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, administrators should consider disabling or restricting use of the Forminator Forms plugin, especially the deletion of form submissions, to prevent exploitation. Monitoring plugin updates from wpmudev is recommended to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.

Description

The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'entry_delete_upload_files' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.44.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include arbitrary file paths in a form submission. The file will be deleted when the form submission is deleted, whether by an Administrator or via auto-deletion determined by plugin settings. This can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
