The FormGent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary file deletion due to a missing capability check on the \/wp-json\/formgent\/responses\/attachments REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.2 This is due to the REST API route being registered without any authentication middleware in routes\/rest\/api.php. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files within the formgent uploads directory. Additionally, on Linux servers where the wp-content\/uploads\/formgent directory does not yet exist (the default state after plugin installation), the path traversal protection can be bypassed, enabling deletion of arbitrary files including wp-config.php which can lead to complete site takeover via a fresh WordPress installation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
