CVE-2026-119529: Gravity Forms WordPress plugin unauthenticated LFI via file upload

CVE-2026-119529 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-11

Gravity Forms, a popular WordPress form-building plugin, allows unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary files through its chunked file upload feature on servers with Server-Side Include (SSI) enabled.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a local file inclusion (CWE-22) resulting from insufficient file type validation in the chunked upload handler. Unauthenticated attackers can upload arbitrary files (including .shtml or .shtm) that, when parsed by an SSI-enabled web server, execute directives to read files from the filesystem. The attack succeeds only on servers configured to parse Server-Side Include documents, such as Apache with mod_include enabled.
