Unauthenticated, network-reachable file upload leads to server code execution with no user interaction, and default templates are exploitable, so PR:N, UI:N, AC:L and full C/I/A:H all hold.

DescriptionNVD

The Sigma Forms Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5 via the handle_form_submission function. This is due to the plugin dynamically granting the unfiltered_upload capability to all users during form submissions and bypassing MIME type validation when allowed_file_types is not configured. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Several default pre-built templates including Job Application, Support Ticket, and Wholesale Application have file upload fields with no file type restrictions configured by design, making this vulnerability immediately exploitable upon installation.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote code execution in the Sigma Forms Pro (AI Generated Forms) WordPress plugin by bdthemes affects all versions through 1.4.5, where the handle_form_submission function temporarily grants the unfiltered_upload capability to every submitter and skips MIME validation when allowed_file_types is empty. An unauthenticated attacker can upload an executable PHP file and run arbitrary code on the server. …
