AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitoring vendor channels for updates is strongly recommended.

Description

The HT Contact Form Widget For Elementor Page Builder & Gutenberg Blocks & Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the temp_file_upload() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
