CVE-2019-10869
Path Traversal and Unrestricted File Upload exists in the Ninja Forms plugin before 3.0.23 for WordPress (when the Uploads add-on is activated).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.06%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description

This allows an attacker to traverse the file system to access files and execute code via the includes/fields/upload.php (aka upload/submit page) name and tmp_name parameters.
