9.8

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

CVE	CVE-2026-1056
CVSS	9.8 (Critical)
Publicly Published	January 27, 2026
Last Updated	January 28, 2026
Researcher	Sarawut Poolkhet (MisterHelloz)

Description

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).
