Ultra Addons for Contact Form 7 is a WordPress plugin that extends Contact Form 7 with PDF generation and other features. An unauthenticated attacker can delete arbitrary files on the web server when the PDF Generator add-on is active, leading to remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are deleted. This requires a Contact Form 7 form to be configured for PDF generation to complete the attack.
