File upload and deletion via missing nonce validation
Published May 24, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 1.3.6.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload or delete files. The dnd_upload_cf7_upload and dnd_codedropz_upload_delete handlers accept forged requests without valid nonce verification. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to click a malicious link or interact with a crafted page, after which files can be added or removed.
