Last modified

CVE-2026-78657 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The SigmaForms Pro – AI Generated Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_submission_files function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.11.
