Technical details
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Gravity Forms up to version 2.10.4 due to insufficient validation of the 'gform_uploaded_files' parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by interacting with the 'process_send_resume_link' endpoint on a publicly accessible form. By supplying a crafted path in the vulnerable parameter and a recipient email address, the attacker can trigger the system to send an email notification with the requested server file attached. This allows for the exfiltration of sensitive files such as wp-config.php or other system data.
