Summary

The Database Addon for Contact Form 7 (CFDB7) WordPress plugin by arshidkv12 is affected up to and including 1.4.1. Its bulk action handler passes stored submission values whose field names contain 'cfdb7_file' directly to unlink() without checking that the file belongs to the submission, an authorization bypass through a user-controlled key (CWE-639). An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject a crafted multipart field to delete files on the server.

Description from the CNA

The Database Addon for Contact Form 7 – CFDB7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion in versions up to, and including, 1.4.1. This is due to the plugin storing arbitrary (non-form-tag) submission fields in its db7_forms row and the process_bulk_action() delete handler then matching any stored key whose name contains the substring 'cfdb7_file' and passing the stored value directly to unlink() without validating that the file actually belongs to the submission being deleted or constraining the filename with basename()/realpath(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a crafted multipart field.
