CVE-2025-14842 Details
Description
The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload – Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited upload of files with a dangerous type in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.9.2. This is due to the plugin not blocking .phar and .svg files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary .phar or .svg files containing malicious PHP or JavaScript code. Malicious PHP code can be used to achieve remote code execution on the server via direct file access, if the server is configured to execute .phar files as PHP. The upload of .svg files allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting under certain circumstances.
A vulnerability exists in the WordPress plugin 'Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload - Contact Form 7', in versions through 1.3.9.2. The plugin fails to restrict the upload of .phar and .svg files, allowing unauthenticated users to upload these file types. .phar files could contain malicious PHP code and, if the server is configured to execute .phar files as PHP, could lead to remote code execution. .svg files could be used for stored cross-site scripting under certain conditions.
Users are advised to update the plugin to version 1.3.9.3 or later.
