CVE-2026-11571

What is known

The Everest Forms WordPress plugin before 3.5.0 does not reliably delete temporary CSV files generated during email-notification processing and leaves them publicly accessible in the uploads directory, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve other users' form submission records via predictable, enumerable filenames.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-11571, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
