# weForms WordPress plugin: path traversal through versions up to 1.6.28

weForms is a WordPress form-builder plugin by Bold Grid. A path traversal flaw lets a request reach files outside the directory the plugin intends to serve, per the NVD description.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed weForms version in the WordPress admin plugin list or with `wp plugin get weforms --field=version`
- Compare the result against `1.6.28`; anything at or below that is in the affected range per the description

## Fix

- Update weForms to a release newer than `1.6.28` once the vendor publishes a fixed version; the sources do not name one, so unknown
- Restrict access to the site's form endpoints at the web server until patched if a fixed version is not yet available
