Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 <= 1.3.9.2 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated File Deletion

View on CVE.org

Published Jan 15, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 3.7 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing ownership check in the dnd_codedropz_upload_delete() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.9.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary uploaded files when the "Send attachments as links" setting is enabled.

Analysis

Technical impact

The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin contains a missing ownership check in its delete functionality. Unauthenticated users can invoke the delete routine to remove any uploaded file when the "Send attachments as links" feature is turned on. This flaw allows unauthorized deletion of user‑supplied attachments, compromising data integrity and potentially disrupting site operations.

Affected Systems

Versions of the plugin up to and including 1.3.9.2, distributed through WordPress, are affected. The vulnerable component is the dnd_codedropz_upload_delete() function, part of the Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin authored by glenwpcoder. Any WordPress installation that has this plugin installed and the "Send attachments as links" option enabled is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores a CVSS of 3.7, indicating a low‑to‑moderate severity. The EPSS score is reported as < 1%, suggesting a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker can trigger the deletion by sending an unauthenticated request to the plugin’s delete endpoint; no special privileges or additional conditions beyond the enabled setting are required. The primary impact is loss of uploaded files, which may impact user experience and site functionality, but there is no direct path to code execution or data exfiltration.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
