CVE-2024-7777

CWE-22Published: August 20, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.0

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

The Contact Form by Bit Form: Multi Step Form, Calculation Contact Form, Payment Contact Form & Custom Contact Form builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and deletion due to insufficient file path validation in multiple functions in versions 2.0 to 2.13.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read and 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).

Risk Analysis

The Contact Form by Bit Form plugin contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to read or delete arbitrary files on the server. This is rated as critical because it can lead to remote code execution if sensitive configuration files like wp-config.php are compromised.

No public exploit is currently known, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV. While it requires administrative access, the attack vector is remote.

Recommended Action

Administrators should update the plugin to a version beyond 2.13.9 and restrict administrative access to trusted users.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-7777 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.0.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
