This month

HIGH 8.1UPGRADE

CVE-2025-6691 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) affecting sureforms. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The SureForms – Drag and Drop Form Builder for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_entry_files() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).

Why this priority

High severity

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.0.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison sureforms sudo apt install sureforms=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.2> sudo apt-mark hold sureforms

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list sureforms sudo dnf downgrade sureforms-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.0.2> sudo dnf versionlock add sureforms

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
