CVE-2025-12352 is a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 2.9.20. The flaw is caused by missing file type validation in the copy_post_image() function, which can copy attacker-controlled content from an external URL into the WordPress uploads directory without adequately restricting dangerous file types. In affected configurations, an unauthenticated attacker can abuse a form configured for post creation with a Post Image or file upload field to place arbitrary files on the server. If the uploaded file is executable by the web server, this can lead to remote code execution.
