AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an unrestricted upload of files with arbitrary types. An attacker can place malicious code such as a web shell onto the server, enabling the execution of arbitrary commands. This flaw falls under CWE‑434 and can lead to complete compromise of the affected WordPress site, including its data, configuration, and underlying operating system.

Affected Systems

The epiphyt Form Block plugin, versions up to and including 1.5.5, is affected. No narrower version qualifiers are available in the current data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9 signals a high severity risk, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low probability of current exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no publicly known exploits are reported. Attackers can likely exploit the flaw by accessing the plugin’s file upload interface, either through an authenticated account with upload permissions or via a publicly exposed form, and uploading a file that the web server will subsequently execute.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Form Block plugin to the latest version (1.5.6 or newer) to eliminate the unrestricted upload flaw.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the upload feature in the plugin or enforce a strict file‑type whitelist using WordPress settings or a security plugin.
  • Ensure the upload directory is protected from execution by configuring server or .htaccess rules to block PHP or other executable scripts, and monitor the directory for unauthorized changes.
