CVE-2014-9473

CVE-2014-9473 describes an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the CformsII plugin (version 14.7 and earlier) for WordPress. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading files with executable extensions through the cf_uploadfile2[] parameter and then directly accessing them in the default upload directory. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on CISA’s KEV catalog, an exploit is publicly available on ExploitDB, though there is no evidence of widespread active exploitation or significant community discussion.
