Description

The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the copy_post_image() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.20. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. This only impacts sites that have allow_url_fopen set to `On`, the post creation form enabled along with a file upload field for the post

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability in the copy_post_image() function that lacks proper file type validation. This allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the server if certain conditions are met, such as having allow_url_fopen enabled, the post creation form active, and a file upload field present. This can potentially lead to remote code execution on the affected site.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers to upload malicious files to your server without authentication, which may lead to remote code execution. This means attackers could take control of your website, steal data, deface the site, or use the server for further attacks.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the Gravity Forms plugin to a version later than 2.9.20 where the issue is fixed. Additionally, ensure that the PHP setting allow_url_fopen is set to Off if possible, and disable the post creation form or remove file upload fields until the plugin is updated.
