The Drag and Drop File Upload for Elementor Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.0 via the elementor_file_upload function. This is due to insufficient file type validation in the is_file_type_valid() function, which uses the attacker-controlled 'type' parameter as regex keys in the MIME allowlist, allowing blacklist bypass via a crafted extension that sanitize_file_name() later normalizes to a PHP extension. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible.

AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in the Drag and Drop File Upload for Elementor Forms WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.6.0) allows unauthenticated attackers to upload executable PHP files through the elementor_file_upload handler. The is_file_type_valid() function trusts an attacker-controlled 'type' parameter as regex keys in its MIME allowlist, so a crafted extension bypasses the intended blacklist and is subsequently normalized to a .php extension by sanitize_file_name(). …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target site must run the Drag and Drop File Upload for Elementor Forms plugin (version ≤1.6.0) and expose at least one Elementor form using its drag-and-drop file upload field so the elementor_file_upload handler is reachable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All primary signals point to genuine high risk rather than an inflated CVSS score: the CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects unauthenticated, low-complexity, remote exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and the described logic flaw (attacker-controlled regex keys plus filename normalization) is straightforward to weaponize into a webshell. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to the fixed release published in WordPress.org plugin changeset 3628051 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3628051/drag-and-drop-file-upload-for-elementor-forms); the input confirms an upstream fix but does not state an exact patched version number, so install the first release after 1.6.0 available in the plugin repository and confirm the version against the Wordfence advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all WordPress installations using Drag and Drop File Upload for Elementor Forms versions up to 1.6.0 and immediately disable the plugin or block the elementor_file_upload AJAX handler via firewall rules. …
