AI-suggested
Users should restrict access to the custom add_edit_forms capability to trusted administrators only. Monitor vendor advisories for official patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. Until a fix is available, avoid enabling file upload fields with dangerous extensions and consider disabling or removing the IvyForms plugin if possible.
Description
The Innovative Form Builder – IvyForms plugin for WordPress versions up to 1.5.1 contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability. This flaw arises from insufficient file type validation and deliberate override of WordPress's native MIME and extension checks, allowing authenticated users with custom-level access to upload potentially executable files. Attackers can configure a form to accept dangerous file extensions like PHP, enabling unauthenticated users to upload malicious files via a public REST endpoint, potentially leading to remote code execution.
