WordPress · Contact Form 7 Email Add On · CVE-2024-10898
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Contact Form 7 Email Add on plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9
**Description**
The issue allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server. This is possible via the `cf7 email add on add admin template()` function, making it possible to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where PHP files can be uploaded and included.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 1.9, consider disabling the `cf7 email add on add admin template()` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive data and PHP files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
