This is due to the plugin accepting arbitrary upload field metadata from POST requests in draft submissions without proper validation, which is then used to delete files when a subsequent draft references the poisoned draft via the previous_draft_id parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary non-PHP files within the wp-content/uploads/ directory.","score":6.5,"severity":"medium","published":"2026-10-30T04:32:43.721Z","modified":"2026-10-30T18:09:01.358Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"wpmudev","name":"Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"1.55.0.2","versionType":"semver"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","cpes":[],"source":"Wordfence","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-5461"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/de1aaacf-8fe1-4a1e-9846-f78cc469ec20?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forminator/trunk/library/model/class-form-entry-model.php#L1387","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forminator/tags/1.52.0/library/model/class-form-entry-model.php#L1387","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forminator/trunk/library/modules/custom-forms/front/front-action.php#L692","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forminator/tags/1.52.0/library/modules/custom-forms/front/front-action.php#L692","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forminator/trunk/library/model/class-form-entry-model.php#L2975","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forminator/tags/1.52.0/library/model/class-form-entry-model.php#L2975","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3593819%40forminator&new=3593819%40forminator"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-5461","modified":"2026-10-30T18:09:01.358Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-5461"}],"assessments":[{"source":"Wordfence","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","score":6.5}],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-10-30T19:13:04.983Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-10-31T10:20:31.211Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-10-30T04:55:32.103Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-30T04:55:32.103Z"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-10-30T04:55:31.781Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-30T04:55:31.781Z"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"refresh-failed","attemptedAt":"2026-10-30T04:50:30.828Z"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-10-30T04:50:30.828Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-30T04:50:30.828Z"}],"evidence":[],"aiSummary":{"text":"Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress, versions up to 1.55.0.2, allows unauthenticated attackers to delete non-PHP files in the wp-content/uploads/ directory due to improper validation of upload field metadata.
