# AskAny WordPress plugin: unauthenticated file upload lets attackers run PHP code

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-121497 (this .md is for agents)

The AskAny WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not check the extension or content of files attached to chat messages, trusting the browser-supplied file type. An unauthenticated visitor can upload a PHP file and run arbitrary code on the site when visitor attachments are enabled.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed AskAny plugin version in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or in `wp-content/plugins/` for the plugin's version header.
- Check whether visitor file attachments are enabled in the AskAny plugin settings.

## Fix

- AskAny WordPress plugin: move to `2.2.0` or later.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-11T06:25:42+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-121497

## From the sources

The AskAny  WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not validate the extension or content of files attached to chat messages, trusting the browser-supplied file type instead, which allows unauthenticated users to upload PHP files and execute arbitrary code when visitor attachments are enabled.
