This is due to a missing nonce verification in the process_bulk_action() function, the nonce check is only executed when _wpnonce is present in the POST body, allowing it to be trivially bypassed by omitting the field, combined with the use of an unsanitized, unparameterized user-supplied value in a numeric SQL context (WHERE ID = $ID) and the unsafe deserialization of the query result's post_content field. An attacker can craft a CSRF page that tricks a logged-in administrator into triggering a UNION-based SQL injection payload (using CHAR() to avoid esc_sql quote-escaping) that returns a malicious serialized PHP array as post_content; upon deserialization, array values associated with keys containing 'ys_cfdbh_file' are used as file paths appended to the uploads directory path without any path traversal validation, and then passed to wp_delete_file(), allowing the attacker to delete arbitrary files on the server (e.g., wp-config.php, system files)."}],"title":"WP Contact Form 7 DB Handler <= 3.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Arbitrary File Deletion via 'contact_form' Parameter","references":[{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/96cdba03-7385-4374-915d-061be0276a95?source=cve"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/trunk/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L615"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/tags/3.0/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L615"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/trunk/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L589"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/tags/3.0/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L589"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/trunk/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L605"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/tags/3.0/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L605"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/trunk/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L607"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-contact-form-7-db-handler/tags/3.0/include/form-inner-page-class.php#L607"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3520240%40wp-contact-form-7-db-handler&new=3520240%40wp-contact-form-7-db-handler&sfp_email=&sfph_mail="}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","description":"CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","cweId":"CWE-352","type":"CWE"}]}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","baseScore":8.1,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"}}],"credits":[{"lang":"en","type":"finder","value":"Louis Deschanel"},{"lang":"en","type":"finder","value":"Pascal SUN"}],"timeline":[{"time":"2026-04-16T20:32:22.000Z","lang":"en","value":"Vendor Notified"},{"time":"2026-05-27T18:05:02.000Z","lang":"en","value":"Disclosed"}]},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"timestamp":"2026-05-28T10:27:04.354033Z","id":"CVE-2026-6455","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2026-05-28T10:34:08.834Z"}}]}}
