CVE-2026-13693 Details
Description
The Bit Form WordPress plugin before 3.1.0 does not restrict a form file-field value to a safe path before reading the file and attaching it to a notification email, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary server files such as the WordPress configuration file.
A vulnerability in the Bit Form WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 3.1.0, allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary server files. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly validate the file path of uploaded files before attaching them to notification emails. This lack of restriction can be exploited to access sensitive files, such as the WordPress configuration file.
Users are advised to update the Bit Form WordPress plugin to version 3.1.0 or later.
