Description
The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316 via the parse_request function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The optional 'file_upload_auth' setting defaults to empty, meaning no authentication is required in the default configuration; enabling this setting mitigates unauthenticated exploitation but does not remediate the path traversal itself. Exploitation on Linux requires a real 13-digit timestamp directory to exist, whereas on Windows the traversal works with any hardcoded 13-digit prefix. However, the plugin's file upload response returns the name of the created directory, which means the vulnerability is exploitable as long as file upload is enabled on the form.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a directory traversal in the plugin’s parse_request function that permits unauthenticated users to read any file on the server’s file system. Because the default configuration allows file uploads without authentication, the path traversal can be leveraged to exfiltrate sensitive information, thereby compromising the confidentiality of the site’s data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability resides in the WebRehab Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress and affects all releases up to and including version 6.3.316.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.1 indicates a high severity, but the EPSS score is not provided, and the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The exploit requires that the form has file upload enabled and, on Linux, a real 13‑digit timestamp directory already exists, while on Windows a hard-coded 13‑digit prefix suffices. Consequently, the likelihood of successful exploitation depends on the site’s specific file upload configuration and the presence of the requisite path components.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Super Forms plugin release that addresses the directory traversal issue.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, disable file upload functionality for all forms that do not require it.
  • Enable the file_upload_auth setting, which adds authentication for all file upload operations and limits the ability of attackers to trigger the traversal.
