What is CVE-2024-6316?

The Generate PDF using Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows attackers to exploit Cross-Site Request Forgery, leading to arbitrary file uploads. This security flaw arises from inadequate nonce and file type validations within the 'wp_cf7_pdf_dashboard_html_page' function. Consequently, unauthenticated attackers can upload harmful files to the affected site's server, potentially enabling remote code execution if they successfully persuade an administrator to take an action, such as clicking on a crafted link. Users of affected versions should take immediate steps to mitigate this risk.
