CVE-2025-32126: Pay with Contact Form 7 SQL Injection Flaw

CVE-2025-32126 Overview

CVE-2025-32126 is a SQL Injection vulnerability affecting the cmsMinds Pay with Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, classified under [CWE-89]. All versions of pay-with-contact-form-7 up to and including 1.0.4 are affected. An authenticated attacker with high privileges can inject crafted SQL statements through vulnerable input parameters to access database contents across security scopes. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6 and has an EPSS probability of 0.508%.

Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary SQL queries to disclose sensitive database contents and cause limited availability impact on WordPress sites running the Pay with Contact Form 7 plugin.

Affected Products

cmsMinds Pay with Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress
All versions from n/a through 1.0.4
WordPress sites with the pay-with-contact-form-7 plugin enabled

Technical Details for CVE-2025-32126

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability is a SQL Injection issue in the Pay with Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin developed by cmsMinds. The plugin fails to properly sanitize or parameterize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries executed against the WordPress database. Attackers with authenticated high-privilege access can submit crafted payloads that alter the structure of backend queries.

Exploitation requires network access and authenticated privileges, but no user interaction. A successful attack changes the scope from the plugin context to the underlying WordPress database, exposing data beyond the plugin's intended boundary. Confidentiality impact is high, while integrity is not affected and availability impact is limited.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command [CWE-89]. The plugin concatenates untrusted input directly into SQL statements instead of using prepared statements or the WordPress $wpdb->prepare() API. This permits attackers to break out of the intended query context and append or modify SQL clauses.

Attack Vector

An authenticated attacker with high privileges sends crafted HTTP requests containing SQL metacharacters to vulnerable plugin endpoints. The injected payload executes within the WordPress database session, enabling extraction of sensitive records such as user credentials, payment metadata, or session tokens. Refer to the Patchstack Vulnerability Alert for technical specifics.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-32126

Indicators of Compromise

Unusual SQL syntax such as UNION SELECT, SLEEP(, or -- appearing in WordPress access logs targeting plugin endpoints
Unexpected outbound database queries originating from the pay-with-contact-form-7 plugin code paths
New or modified administrator accounts created shortly after suspicious plugin requests
MySQL error log entries referencing malformed queries from the plugin context

Detection Strategies

Inspect WordPress request logs for parameters containing SQL keywords, quotes, or comment markers directed at the plugin
Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rulesets that identify SQL Injection patterns against WordPress plugin paths
Enable MySQL general query logging temporarily to identify anomalous query structures originating from the plugin
Audit installed plugin versions and flag any instance of pay-with-contact-form-7 at version 1.0.4 or earlier

Monitoring Recommendations

Monitor authenticated administrator and editor sessions for atypical request patterns to plugin endpoints
Alert on database error rate spikes that correlate with HTTP requests to the plugin
Track changes to sensitive WordPress tables such as wp_users and wp_usermeta

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-32126

Immediate Actions Required

Identify all WordPress installations with the pay-with-contact-form-7 plugin and verify the installed version
Disable or remove the plugin on sites running version 1.0.4 or earlier until a fixed release is applied
Rotate WordPress administrator credentials and database passwords if compromise is suspected
Review user accounts and recent database changes for signs of unauthorized modification

Patch Information

At the time of NVD publication, the advisory indicates the vulnerability affects versions through 1.0.4 with no fixed version listed. Monitor the Patchstack advisory and the official WordPress plugin repository for a patched release from cmsMinds.

Workarounds

Remove the pay-with-contact-form-7 plugin entirely until a vendor patch is published
Restrict access to the WordPress admin interface using IP allow-lists or VPN-only access
Deploy WAF rules that block SQL Injection signatures targeting the plugin's request parameters
Enforce least-privilege access by limiting the number of users granted high-privilege WordPress roles

bash

# Configuration example: list and deactivate the affected plugin using WP-CLI
wp plugin list --name=pay-with-contact-form-7 --fields=name,status,version
wp plugin deactivate pay-with-contact-form-7
wp plugin delete pay-with-contact-form-7
