What is CVE-2026-1056?
CVE-2026-1056 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in inc2734 Snow Monkey Forms, published on 28 Jan 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Snow Monkey Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'generate_user_dirpath' function in all versions up to, and including, 12.0.3.
