critical 9.8 CVE-2026-1056 · published 2026-01-28

Arbitrary file deletion in Snow Monkey Forms (12.0.3 and older)

Affected: 12.0.3 and older
Fixed in: 12.0.4 *
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The Snow Monkey Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'generate_user_dirpath' function in all versions up to, and including, 12.0.3. 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).
