CVE-2019-25734Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated local file inclusion via AJAX path traversal

Published Jun 4, 2026 · Updated Jun 4, 2026

Path traversal in 10Web Contact Form by WD 1.13.1 allows remote attackers to include local files through a crafted AJAX request. The form_maker_ajax_fmc function treats the unsanitized GET action value as a file path, while the POST action selects an exposed WordPress AJAX handler. No authentication is required for the no-privilege actions; the demonstrated consequence is local file inclusion, not code execution.
