AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Database for Contact Form 7, WPforms, Elementor forms WordPress plugin prior to version 1.5.5 contains a SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) due to improper sanitization and escaping of a parameter used in SQL queries. This flaw allows users with a certain capability—typically administrators but potentially delegated to lower privileged roles—to execute arbitrary SQL commands via crafted input. No CVSS score or official remediation level has been published, and no patch links are currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with the required capability to manipulate the plugin's database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion within the WordPress database context. The impact depends on the privileges of the exploited user role and the database permissions of the WordPress installation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict delegation of the affected capability to trusted users only, ideally limiting it to administrators. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
