ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to version 7.4.0, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities were identified due to insufficient output encoding of user-controlled request parameter names and parameter values. The application reflects attacker-controlled input into JavaScript string contexts and HTML attribute contexts without proper sanitization or contextual output encoding. Affected endpoints observed during testing: /FamilyCustomFieldsEditor.php, /PaddleNumList.php and /admin/system/church-info. Potential consequences include session-token theft, account takeover, unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users, exposure of sensitive church member information, credential harvesting, phishing, and privilege escalation when administrators are targeted. This issue has been resolved in version 7.4.0.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to version 7.4.0, there was an authorization flaw in the family-scoped endpoints which allowed low-privileged users to read and modify other families’ records. An authenticated non-admin user with EditSelf access can supply another family’s `familyId` and access records outside their own family scope. The backend trusts the attacker-controlled `familyId` and loads the corresponding family entity by ID without verifying that the requested family belongs to the current user. If the same user also has Notes permission, they can create notes on another family’s record. This breaks the intended EditSelf scope and allows access to unrelated congregation records. This issue has been fixed in version 7.4.0.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to version 7.4.0, an authenticated administrator can achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the server by installing a malicious plugin ZIP archive containing a PHP webshell. The application explicitly includes 'php' in its ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS list, while the dangerous extensions denylist (DENIED_EXTENSIONS) fails to block standard .php files. Because `php` is explicitly included in the allowed extension list for plugin archives, and extracted files are placed directly under the web root, any PHP file inside the ZIP becomes immediately executable via HTTP — without even needing to "enable" the plugin through the application UI. The /plugins/install-url API route (management.php) allows an administrator to source the malicious ZIP from any attacker-controlled HTTPS URL, validating it only against an attacker-supplied SHA-256 hash. This issue has been fixed in version 7.4.0.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to version 7.4.0, a low-privileged user can bypass the /admin/export UI and exfiltrate the entire member directory. The POST /CSVCreateFile.php endpoint generates and streams a CSV containing the full Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of every Person/Family record in the database, without performing any feature-level or object-level authorization check beyond the coarse "has any admin permission" gate inherited from the legacy page bootstrap. In other words, any single non-admin permission flag is enough to reach the CSV bulk-export endpoint, even though such users should not have data export rights. The export script is missing a dedicated isAdmin() (or a new bExportData) authorization check of its own. This issue has been fixed in version 7.4.0.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.3.2, top-level cross-site GET navigation from an attacker-controlled page to FundRaiserDelete.php, PropertyTypeDelete.php, or NoteDelete.php causes a logged-in ChurchCRM user with the relevant role to silently delete records, including cascaded property and record-to-property assignments. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.2.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. From 7.2.0 to 7.2.2, The fix for CVE-2026-4058 is incomplete. The hardening commit was merged and then silently stripped from src/api/routes/public/public-user.php by an unrelated PR before any 7.2.x tag was cut. Every shipped 7.2.x release therefore remains exploitable by the PoC published with the original advisory. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.1.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.3.2, The fix for CVE-2026-39337 is incomplete. The pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in ChurchCRM's setup wizard via unsanitized DB_PASSWORD remains fully exploitable This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.2.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.3.2, UserEditor.php processes user account creation and permission updates entirely through $_POST parameters with no CSRF token validation. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious HTML page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, silently elevates any low-privilege user to full administrator or creates a new admin backdoor account without the victim's knowledge This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.2.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 7.2.0, the User Editor (UserEditor.php) renders stored usernames directly into an HTML input value attribute without applying htmlspecialchars(). An administrator can save a username containing HTML attribute-breaking characters and event handlers, which execute in the browser of any administrator who subsequently views that user's editor page, resulting in stored XSS. This issue has been fixed in version 7.2.0.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 7.2.0, the family record deletion endpoint (SelectDelete.php) performs permanent, irreversible deletion of family records and all associated data via a plain GET request with no CSRF token validation. An attacker can craft a malicious page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, silently triggers deletion of targeted family records including associated notes, pledges, persons, and property data without any user interaction. This issue has been fixed in version 7.2.0.
