Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP script that allows arbitrary code execution.

Description

The Creative Contact Form Plugin for WordPress (previously known as Sexy Contact Form) installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to the failure to properly sanitize user-supplied files that are uploaded to the script '/includes/fileupload/UploadHandler.php'. By uploading a malicious file, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the web server user.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.0.0 or later.
