CVE-2026-14484: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in pietror91 RapiSafe – Secure Multi File Upload for Contact Form 7

0
Critical
Published: 08/15/2026 (08/15/2026, 02:26:15 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: pietror91
Product: RapiSafe – Secure Multi File Upload for Contact Form 7

Description

The RapiSafe – Secure Multi File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the handleAjaxRemoveUpload function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The nonce required to invoke the removal handler is exposed in public-facing JavaScript as RSMFCF7Vars.nonce on every Contact Form 7 page rendering a RapiSafe upload field, making it obtainable by any unauthenticated visitor.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-14484 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the RapiSafe – Secure Multi File Upload for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.4. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of file paths in the handleAjaxRemoveUpload function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server. The nonce required to invoke this deletion handler is exposed in public-facing JavaScript as RSMFCF7Vars.nonce on every Contact Form 7 page rendering a RapiSafe upload field, making it accessible to any unauthenticated visitor. Deleting critical files like wp-config.php can lead to remote code execution. The CVSS v3.1 score is 9.1 (critical), reflecting network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on integrity and availability.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the vulnerable plugin by exploiting insufficient path validation and publicly exposed nonce. This can lead to remote code execution if critical files such as wp-config.php are deleted, severely impacting the integrity and availability of the affected system.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected plugin and consider disabling it to prevent exploitation. Monitor for updates from the vendor pietror91 regarding patches or official fixes.
