CVE-2025-7341
CWE-269Published: July 15, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The HT Contact Form Widget For Elementor Page Builder & Gutenberg Blocks & Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the temp_file_delete() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. 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).
Risk Analysis
The HT Contact Form Widget plugin for WordPress contains a flaw allowing unauthenticated arbitrary file deletion. By deleting critical system files, an attacker can facilitate remote code execution. The high CVSS score underscores the urgency of this security failure.
There is no known public exploit, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
Update the HT Contact Form Widget plugin to a version later than 2.2.1 to ensure proper file path validation.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-7341 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
