Vulnerability Overview

The Contact Form 7 Database Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including 1.2.5.3, that makes it possible for attackers to append arbitrary SQL queries into an existing query via the form_id parameter. This can be exploit by authenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive information from the database.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.5.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
