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

6.5

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 deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the iconRemove function in versions 2.0 to 2.13.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, 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).

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-7782 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
