CVE-2026-15748 is a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 1.56.1. The flaw is rooted in insufficient file type validation in the plugin's upload handling logic, specifically in the handle_file_upload() path, and can be reached through a chain of trust and validation weaknesses in frontend form processing. A crafted submission can abuse a Select field to inject attacker-controlled upload field metadata that is later treated as a legitimate upload configuration. During upload processing, the plugin trusts attacker-supplied field settings, including custom file type parameters, and its dangerous-extension filtering relies on exact-key matching that can be bypassed with alternative MIME-type patterns. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload executable PHP content to a vulnerable site. In deployments where uploaded files are stored in a location that permits script execution, the issue can be escalated to remote code execution and full site compromise.
