CVE-2026-5710 describes a Path Traversal vulnerability affecting the Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability allows an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server due to insufficient input validation during file attachment processing. The vulnerability impacts versions up to 1.3.9.6 and is resolved in version 1.3.9.7.
The Path Traversal vulnerability in Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 allows attackers to bypass intended file access restrictions. By crafting malicious filenames containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd), an attacker can potentially read sensitive files from the server's file system. This could include configuration files, database credentials, or other confidential data. The potential impact ranges from information disclosure to complete server compromise, depending on the files accessible and the attacker's subsequent actions. Successful exploitation could lead to the exposure of sensitive data, privilege escalation, and ultimately, full control of the WordPress instance.
CVE-2026-5710 was publicly disclosed on 2026-04-17. The vulnerability is considered relatively straightforward to exploit, given the lack of server-side validation. While no public proof-of-concept (PoC) has been widely reported, the ease of exploitation suggests a potential for active exploitation. The vulnerability has not been added to the CISA KEV catalog as of this writing.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-5710 is to immediately upgrade the Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin to version 1.3.9.7 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider implementing a temporary workaround by restricting file upload permissions on the server to prevent access to sensitive directories. Additionally, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block requests containing directory traversal sequences in the filename parameter. Monitor WordPress logs for suspicious file access attempts, particularly those involving unusual file paths.
