Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension via the cf uploadfile2[] parameter, then accessing the file via a direct request to the file in the default upload directory.

Recommendations For CformsII plugin versions 14.7 and earlier, consider disabling the file upload functionality in lib nonajax.php until a patch is available.
