Description
Contact Form by WD 1.13.1 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability combined with local file inclusion that allows unauthenticated attackers to include arbitrary files by exploiting unsanitized action parameters. Attackers can craft malicious forms targeting the admin-ajax.php endpoint with directory traversal sequences in the GET action parameter to load files via CSRF, bypassing authentication on vulnerable AJAX actions.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Contact Form Maker version 1.13.1 combines cross‑site request forgery with local file inclusion. Unsanitized "action" parameters in the admin‑ajax.php endpoint allow an unauthenticated attacker to craft a form that, when submitted, triggers directory traversal sequences to load arbitrary files. Access to the server’s file system can result in disclosure of sensitive information or the execution of malicious code.

Affected Systems

Web‑Dorado Contact Form Maker plugin for WordPress, version 1.13.1. No other versions are listed as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 denotes moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack path involves an attacker delivering a malicious form to a user, leveraging the CSRF-protected AJAX endpoint to include a chosen file. Because authentication is bypassed and the vector relies on user interaction, the exploitation likelihood is moderate but still significant.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Contact Form Maker plugin to the latest version released by Web‑Dorado, which removes the CSRF and unsanitized action logic.
  • If an immediate upgrade cannot be performed, disable the plugin or block unauthenticated POST/GET requests to its admin‑ajax.php endpoint using web‑server or .htaccess rules.
  • As a temporary measure, add a filter or modify the plugin code to validate the action parameter against a whitelist and strip any directory traversal characters before processing the request.
