Network-reachable and unauthenticated via anonymous form (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N); AC:H because a specific non-default Forminator-'Everyone' recipe and a crafted gadget payload are required; file deletion enabling RCE gives full C:H/I:H/A:H.

The Uncanny Automator - Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the fr_token function in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). Exploitation requires a Forminator form connected to an Uncanny Automator recipe configured for 'Everyone', allowing unauthenticated form submissions to supply the malicious serialized payload; a gadget chain is present within the plugin via the Action_Helpers_Email __destruct() method, meaning no external gadget library is required.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file deletion in the Uncanny Automator WordPress plugin (all versions through 7.3.1.4) lets unauthenticated attackers delete any file on the server via untrusted PHP object deserialization in the fr_token function, and deleting a critical file such as wp-config.php can pivute WordPress into an installation/setup state that yields remote code execution. Exploitation is gated by a specific setup: a Forminator form must be connected to an Uncanny Automator recipe whose trigger is configured for 'Everyone', which is what exposes the deserialization sink to anonymous form submissions. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a specific, non-default deployment: the Forminator forms plugin must be installed and at least one Forminator form must be connected to an Uncanny Automator recipe whose trigger is configured for 'Everyone', which is precisely what permits unauthenticated attackers to submit the malicious serialized payload into the fr_token deserialization path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are moderately consistent. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker locates a WordPress site running Uncanny Automator ≤7.3.1.4 with a public Forminator form wired to an 'Everyone' recipe, then submits the form with a field containing a crafted serialized PHP object targeting the Action_Helpers_Email __destruct() gadget. When the object is rehydrated and destructed server-side, the plugin deletes wp-config.php, forcing WordPress into its fresh-install state that the attacker completes to point the site at an attacker-controlled database and gain code execution. … |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available (WordPress.org plugin changeset 3607776); released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data - update the Uncanny Automator plugin to the latest version above 7.3.1.4 as published on WordPress.org and confirm the fixed version in the Wordfence advisory before relying on it. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: disable the Uncanny Automator plugin or restrict all Forminator form submissions to authenticated users only. …
