CVE-2025-3247
At a glance
CVE-2025-3247 is a medium-severity Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value vulnerability in the Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 6.0.5. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 6.0.6; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed April 2025, reported by Asaf Mozes.
Vulnerability Overview
The Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Order Replay in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.5 via the 'wpcf7_stripe_skip_spam_check' function due to insufficient validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reuse a single Stripe PaymentIntent for multiple transactions. Only the first transaction is processed via Stripe, but the plugin sends a successful email message for each transaction, which may trick an administrator into fulfilling each order.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-354: Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value
The product does not validate or incorrectly validates the integrity check values or checksums of a message. This may prevent it from detecting if the data has been modified or corrupted in transmission.
Remediation
Update to version 6.0.6, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The fix is the thing that ends this: Contact Form 7 6.0.6 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
