Unauthenticated code execution via destination filename override
Published Apr 7, 2026 · Updated Apr 7, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in Saturday Drive Ninja Forms File Uploads 3.3.26 and earlier allows remote attackers to write files to the server. The unauthenticated AJAX flow issues an upload nonce for an arbitrary field ID, then handle_upload trusts a client-supplied destination filename when calling move_uploaded_file, bypassing extension checks. The add-on only needs to be active; no form or upload field is required, and executable server-side files grant code execution under the web service account.
