What is CVE-2026-1056?

The Snow Monkey Forms plugin for WordPress suffers from a security vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files from the server. This risk arises due to inadequate file path validation in the 'generate_user_dirpath' function, affecting all versions up to and including 12.0.3. If exploiters manage to delete critical files, such as the wp-config.php file, it could potentially lead to remote code execution, compromising overall site integrity and security.

Affected Version(s)

Snow Monkey Forms 0 <= 12.0.3

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
