Exploitation Conditions

Requires JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.5.6.2 with a form containing a Media Field preset enabled. Unauthenticated remote attacker submits crafted form with path traversal payload in Media Field preset JSON to read arbitrary files. No victim interaction required.

Impact

This represents a high real-world risk despite requiring specific configuration conditions. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates network-based exploitation with low attack complexity and no authentication required, making it easily automatable. The vulnerability allows complete confidentiality breach of server files including configuration files, database credentials, and private keys. While exploitation requires the form to be configured with both a Media Field and Send Email action with attachments enabled, these are common configurations for contact and file upload forms. The changeset reference (3486996) confirms a patch is available. No EPSS score or KEV status was provided in the intelligence data, but the unauthenticated remote nature and file disclosure impact make this a priority for remediation, particularly for WordPress sites using JetFormBuilder with email functionality.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running JetFormBuilder with a publicly accessible form that includes a Media Field and Send Email action configured to attach uploaded files. The attacker crafts a malicious form submission with a JSON payload containing a path traversal string (e.g., ../../../../wp-config.php) in the Media Field preset parameter. Upon submission, the plugin's flawed validation logic accepts the arbitrary path and the Send Email action attaches the targeted file (containing database credentials, API keys, or other sensitive data) to the outgoing email, delivering it to the attacker-controlled recipient address. Because the vulnerability requires no authentication and has low complexity (CVSS AC:L), automated scanning and exploitation at scale is feasible.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 21, 2026

The JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress contains a critical path traversal vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the server. All versions up to and including 3.5.6.2 are affected. Attackers can exploit this to exfiltrate sensitive local files as email attachments by submitting crafted form requests with malicious Media Field payloads, with a CVSS score of 7.5 indicating high confidentiality impact.

RemediationAI

Upgrade JetFormBuilder to version 3.5.6.3 or later which addresses this vulnerability as indicated by changeset 3486996 available at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3486996/jetformbuilder. Site administrators should update immediately through the WordPress plugin update mechanism. As a temporary mitigation until patching is complete, disable or remove Send Email actions with file attachment capabilities from forms using Media Fields, or temporarily deactivate the JetFormBuilder plugin if not critical to operations. Review server logs for suspicious form submissions attempting path traversal patterns (such as ../ sequences or absolute paths) in Media Field payloads. After patching, conduct a security audit to determine if sensitive files were accessed prior to remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects JetFormBuilder (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:jetmonsters:jetformbuilder_—_dynamic_blocks_form_builder:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a dynamic form builder plugin for WordPress. The root cause is classified as CWE-36 (Absolute Path Traversal). The flaw exists in the Uploaded_File::set_from_array method which accepts user-controlled file paths from Media Field preset JSON payloads without validating that paths belong to the WordPress uploads directory. This is compounded by an insufficient file comparison check in File_Tools::is_same_file that only compares basenames rather than full paths. When combined with the Send Email action configured to attach files, this allows arbitrary file system reads. The vulnerability chain involves three components: the uploaded-file.php resource handler, the file-uploader.php block parser, and the send-email-action.php module.

DescriptionCVE.org

The JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read via path traversal in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.6.2. This is due to the 'Uploaded_File::set_from_array' method accepting user-supplied file paths from the Media Field preset JSON payload without validating that the path belongs to the WordPress uploads directory. Combined with an insufficient same-file check in 'File_Tools::is_same_file' that only compares basenames, this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to exfiltrate arbitrary local files as email attachments by submitting a crafted form request when the form is configured with a Media Field and a Send Email action with file attachment.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

An unpatched vulnerability in the JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin exposes organizations to unauthorized file access and data exfiltration. Any website using this plugin version 3.5.6.2 or earlier is at risk of having sensitive files stolen without authentication, potentially compromising customer data, credentials, and proprietary information.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement WAF rules to block suspicious Media Field requests and path traversal patterns; disable the JetFormBuilder plugin entirely until patched; restrict plugin functionality through WordPress configuration; segment affected web servers from sensitive internal systems; monitor file access logs for anomalous activity; consider switching to alternative, actively maintained form plugins.
