CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file and directory deletion due to inadequate capability checks and improper sanitization of user input in the AJAX handlers. This flaw allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access to delete critical files, potentially leading to a complete site takedown and exposing the server to remote code execution risks. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching or disabling it to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File/Directory Deletion in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316. This is due to the `super_save_form` AJAX handler performing no capability check — allowing Subscriber-level authenticated users to create or modify Super Forms and enable the `file_upload_submission_delete` setting — combined with the `super_submit_form` handler's `submit_form` function passing the attacker-controlled `files[].subdir` value from `$_POST['data']` directly into `SUPER_Common::delete_dir()` without sanitization, and a trivially bypassed `ABSPATH` guard that a `subdir` value of `wp-config.php` defeats because `dirname(realpath(ABSPATH . $subdir))` resolves to the WordPress root while the naive `ABSPATH !== $dir` string check fails to match due to a trailing-slash mismatch. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to recursively delete arbitrary files and directories on the server, up to and including the entire WordPress installation, resulting in full site takedown and potential remote code execution if critical files such as `wp-config.php` are removed and the site is subsequently re-installed by another party.
