CVE-2025-7360
CWE-22Published: 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 moving due to insufficient file path validation in the handle_files_upload() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to move arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is moved (such as wp-config.php).
Risk Analysis
This WordPress plugin is vulnerable to arbitrary file movement due to insufficient path validation. An unauthenticated attacker can move sensitive files, such as configuration files, which can lead to remote code execution. The critical CVSS score highlights the severe risk of total application compromise.
No public exploit is currently known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.
Update the HT Contact Form Widget plugin to a version beyond 2.2.1 to patch the file validation logic.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-7360 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.
