AI-suggested
Until a patch is available, it is recommended to restrict access to the vulnerable plugin, disable or remove the Integration for Google Sheets and Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Ninja Forms plugin if possible, and monitor for updates from the vendor. Avoid using untrusted input that triggers deserialization in the verify_field_val() function.
Description
The Integration for Google Sheets and Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Ninja Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 via deserialization of untrusted input within the verify_field_val() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain in the Contact Form 7 plugin, which is likely to be used alongside, allows attackers to delete arbitrary files, leading to a denial of service or remote code execution when the wp-config.php file is deleted.
