CVE-2026-109384 Details
Description
The The Innovative Form Builder – IvyForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.1 via the filterFiletypeAndExt function. This is due to insufficient file type validation due to the absence of a dangerous-extension denylist in the allowed-extensions sanitizer and deliberate override of WordPress's native MIME and extension defences via a registered wp_check_filetype_and_ext filter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. An authenticated attacker with the custom add_edit_forms capability must first configure a File Upload field with a dangerous extension (e.g., php) in the allowed-extensions list; once that form is published, any unauthenticated visitor can trigger the actual file upload via the publicly accessible /wp-json/ivyforms/v1/form/submission/ REST route.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary file upload has been identified in The Innovative Form Builder – IvyForms plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.5.1. The issue arises from inadequate file type validation, as the allowed-extensions sanitizer lacks a denylist for dangerous extensions. Additionally, the plugin intentionally overrides WordPress's built-in MIME and extension safeguards, enabling authenticated attackers with custom-level access to upload potentially executable files, leading to remote code execution. To exploit this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker with the add_edit_forms capability must first create a File Upload field allowing dangerous extensions, such as PHP. Once the form is published, any unauthenticated user can upload files through the public /wp-json/ivyforms/v1/form/submission/ REST route.
Users are advised to update the The Innovative Form Builder – IvyForms plugin to version 1.5.2 or a later patched version.
