CVE-2025-5692: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in smackcoders Lead Form Data Collection to CRM
The Lead Form Data Collection to CRM plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on several functions in the ~/includes/LB_admin_ajax.php file in all versions up to, and including, 3.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform several actions like updating settings. Initially this CVE was assigned specifically to all AJAX actions and the doFieldAjaxAction() function, however it was determined that CVE-2025-47690 is assigned to the doFieldAjaxAction() function that leads to arbitrary options updates.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-5692 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Lead Form Data Collection to CRM WordPress plugin by smackcoders. The issue arises from the absence of proper capability checks on multiple functions in the ~/includes/LB_admin_ajax.php file, allowing authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to execute unauthorized actions such as updating plugin settings. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.1. It is separate from CVE-2025-47690, which concerns arbitrary options updates via the doFieldAjaxAction() function. No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to perform unauthorized actions within the plugin, including modifying settings. This could lead to integrity and availability impacts on the affected WordPress site. Confidentiality impact is rated low, while integrity and availability impacts are low to medium based on the CVSS vector. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, administrators should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict user roles and permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
