Unauthenticated file deletion via unchecked upload paths
Published Jan 31, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
File deletion in Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 1.3.8.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete server files. The dnd_codedropz_upload_delete() function uses a request-supplied path in a deletion operation without isolating each guest's uploads in a random directory. No authentication or user interaction is required, but protected files such as wp-config.php cannot be deleted and code execution is not established.
