Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the _getObjAttr function due to insufficient file path validation, allowing path traversal attacks. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to delete arbitrary files via the WPCF7_Submission POP gadget chain, which uses the __destruct() method to execute the deletion. The attack requires the PDF Generator add-on to be enabled and a CF7 form configured for PDF generation.
