Unauthenticated file disclosure via predictable upload names
Published May 2, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in Arshid Database Addon for Contact Form 7 – CFDB7 1.2.6.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to read uploaded files. The cfdb7_before_send_mail function copies submissions into the WordPress uploads tree and names each file from the Unix timestamp, field key, and original basename without an unpredictable value. No authentication or user interaction is required; guessing those filename components exposes uploaded content, including personally identifiable information.
