What is CVE-2026-5461?

The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Limited File Deletion issue, allowing unauthenticated attackers to manipulate upload field metadata in POST requests. This vulnerability arises from the inadequate validation of draft submissions, which leads to exploitation via the previous_draft_id parameter.
