CVE-2025-68046 is a vulnerability identified in the ThemeHunk Contact Form & Lead Form Elementor Builder WordPress plugin, specifically affecting versions up to 2.0.1. The flaw allows an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) to remotely access sensitive embedded system information without requiring user interaction (UI:N). The vulnerability is classified as an exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere, meaning that data intended to be protected within the system can be retrieved by unauthorized parties. The CVSS v3.1 score of 6.5 reflects a medium severity, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), and no impact on integrity or availability, but a high impact on confidentiality (C:H). This suggests that while the attacker cannot modify or disrupt system operations, they can gain access to sensitive data that could be leveraged for further attacks or information disclosure. The vulnerability does not currently have known exploits in the wild, but the potential for data leakage makes it a concern for organizations relying on this plugin for contact and lead form management. The lack of a patch link indicates that remediation may still be pending or must be obtained directly from the vendor. The vulnerability was reserved in December 2025 and published in January 2026, indicating recent discovery and disclosure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to confidentiality, especially for entities that collect sensitive customer or internal data via the affected plugin. Exposure of embedded sensitive system information could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and reputational damage. Since the plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments for lead generation and contact management, organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce are particularly vulnerable. The attacker’s ability to remotely retrieve sensitive data without user interaction increases the risk of automated exploitation attempts. However, the requirement for low privileges limits the attack surface to users or processes with some level of access, reducing the likelihood of widespread exploitation but still posing a threat if internal accounts are compromised or if the plugin is misconfigured. The absence of impact on integrity and availability means operational disruption is unlikely, but the confidentiality breach alone can have severe consequences under European data protection laws.

1. Immediately verify the plugin version in use and upgrade to a patched version once released by ThemeHunk. 2. Restrict access to the plugin’s administrative and configuration interfaces to trusted users only, employing role-based access controls. 3. Implement network-level restrictions such as web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the plugin endpoints. 4. Conduct regular audits of user privileges and remove unnecessary access rights to minimize the pool of potential attackers with low privileges. 5. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to retrieve sensitive data from the plugin. 6. Consider temporarily disabling or replacing the plugin with alternative solutions if a patch is not yet available. 7. Educate internal teams about the risks of this vulnerability and the importance of maintaining plugin hygiene and timely updates. 8. Ensure that backups and incident response plans are updated to handle potential data exposure incidents.
