CVE-2026-3141

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FormGent versions prior to 1.9.3

Description The FormGent plugin for WordPress allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files within the formgent uploads directory. This occurs because the '/wp-json/formgent/responses/attachments' REST API endpoint is registered without authentication middleware in 'routes/rest/api.php', resulting in a missing capability check. On Linux servers where the 'wp-content/uploads/formgent' directory has not yet been created, path traversal protection can be bypassed. This allows the deletion of critical files, such as 'wp-config.php', which may lead to a complete site takeover via a fresh WordPress installation.

Recommendations Update the plugin to a version newer than 1.9.2. As a temporary mitigation, restrict access to the '/wp-json/formgent/responses/attachments' REST API endpoint.
