CVE-2026-5581

Summary

The Multi Uploader for Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary media deletion in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This is due to missing capability checks in the plupload_ajax_delete_file() function, which is registered via wp_ajax_nopriv_gfmu_delete_file. The nonce intended for CSRF protection is exposed on any public-facing page containing a multi-uploader form field via the GFMU_options JavaScript object. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete any WordPress media attachment by supplying its attachment ID, potentially leading to complete media library destruction.
