CVE-2025-8145: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in themeisle Redirection for Contact Form 7
The Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4 via deserialization of untrusted input in the get_lead_fields function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain in a Contact Form 7 plugin allows attackers to delete arbitrary files. Additionally, in certain server configurations, Remote Code Execution is possible
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-8145 is a deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 3.2.4. The issue arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted input in the get_lead_fields function, enabling unauthenticated PHP Object Injection. The presence of a POP (Property Oriented Programming) chain in the Contact Form 7 plugin can be leveraged to delete arbitrary files. Additionally, certain server configurations may allow remote code execution. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to inject PHP objects, potentially leading to arbitrary file deletion and remote code execution depending on server configuration. This compromises system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.2.4 of the plugin.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
