The CVE-2025-67471 vulnerability is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue found in the Saad Iqbal Quick Contact Form plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 8.2.5. CSRF vulnerabilities allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users by exploiting the trust a web application has in the user's browser. In this case, an attacker could craft malicious web requests that, when visited by an authenticated user, cause the Quick Contact Form to submit data or change settings without the user's knowledge or consent. This can lead to unauthorized data submission, manipulation of contact form entries, or potentially injecting malicious content if the form data is processed insecurely. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond visiting a malicious page while logged in, and no authentication bypass is needed since the victim must be authenticated. There are no known public exploits or patches at the time of publication, and no CVSS score has been assigned. The lack of anti-CSRF tokens or insufficient validation of request origins likely contributes to this vulnerability. The Quick Contact Form plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to provide simple contact forms, making this a relevant threat for websites relying on this plugin for customer communication or lead generation. Without mitigation, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to disrupt communications, inject spam or malicious content, or manipulate form data integrity.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-67471 can be significant, especially for those using the Quick Contact Form plugin on customer-facing websites. The vulnerability threatens the integrity of submitted data, potentially allowing attackers to submit fraudulent or malicious information, which could disrupt business communications or damage reputation. Confidentiality may also be impacted if attackers manipulate form data to exfiltrate sensitive information or inject malicious payloads that lead to further compromise. Availability is less directly affected but could be impacted if attackers flood the form with spam or malicious submissions, leading to denial of service or resource exhaustion. Organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, finance, healthcare, and public services that rely on contact forms for customer interaction or data collection are particularly at risk. The absence of known exploits suggests a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation once a user is authenticated increases risk. Failure to address this vulnerability could lead to regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is compromised or manipulated.

To mitigate CVE-2025-67471, organizations should first verify if they are using the Saad Iqbal Quick Contact Form plugin and identify the version in use. Immediate steps include restricting access to the contact form to only trusted and authenticated users where possible. Implementing or ensuring the presence of anti-CSRF tokens in form submissions is critical to prevent unauthorized requests. Monitoring web server logs and form submission patterns for unusual or automated activity can help detect exploitation attempts. Organizations should follow vendor advisories closely and apply patches or updates as soon as they become available. If no official patch exists, consider disabling the plugin temporarily or replacing it with an alternative contact form solution that follows secure coding practices. Additionally, educating users about the risks of visiting untrusted websites while authenticated can reduce the likelihood of CSRF attacks. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious form submissions or cross-site requests. Finally, regular security assessments and penetration testing should include checks for CSRF vulnerabilities in web applications.
