Last modified

CVE-2026-120559 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Contact Form Extender for Divi Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the cfefd_remove_uploaded_file() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6.
