CVE-2025-14457 - Changeset Plugin

CVE-2025-14457

The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing ownership check in the dnd_codedropz_upload_delete() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.9.2.
