CVE-2026-3459: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in glenwpcoder Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7
The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload - Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file type validation in the 'dnd_upload_cf7_upload' function in versions up to, and including, 1.3.7.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. This can be exploited if the form includes a multiple file upload field with ‘*’ as the accepted file type.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3459 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.1) in the glenwpcoder Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload plugin for Contact Form 7. The issue arises from insufficient validation of uploaded file types in the 'dnd_upload_cf7_upload' function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files when the form permits all file types. This can potentially enable remote code execution on the server hosting the vulnerable WordPress site. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.3.7.3.
Potential Impact
An attacker can upload arbitrary files without authentication, which may lead to remote code execution, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. This can result in full system compromise, data theft, or service disruption.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid using the plugin with forms that accept all file types ('*') for multiple file uploads. Restrict accepted file types to a safe subset to reduce risk. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
