Gravity Forms is vulnerable to Unrestricted File Upload
98
Critical Risk
This Affects:
Gravity FormsTL;DR
upload_file() persists a submitted file after the field validation pipeline has already run. Hidden File Upload fields skip extension checks, and a rejected upload's intact file state is later passed to upload_file() without being validated again. An unauthenticated visitor to a public form can therefore store an executable file and achieve remote code execution. The fix re-validates hidden File Upload fields before the file is persisted.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and a publicly accessible form contains a File Upload field with Visibility set to Hidden.
Background info
Gravity Forms is vulnerable to Unrestricted File Upload in versions 0.0.1 - 3.1.0.4.
How to fix this
Upgrade the gravityforms and/or the Gravity Forms library to the patch version.
