id: CVE-2026-5718

info:
  name: Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload - CF7 <= 1.3.9.6 - Remote Code Execution
  author: zer0p0int
  severity: critical
  description: |
   Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin <= 1.3.9.6 contains an unrestricted file upload caused by insufficient file type validation and bypass of filename sanitization with non-ASCII characters, letting unauthenticated attackers upload arbitrary files and achieve remote code execution.
  impact: |
   Unauthenticated attackers can upload arbitrary files, potentially leading to remote code execution and full server compromise.
  remediation: |
   Update to the latest version beyond 1.3.9.6.
