At a glance
CVE-2025-12825 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the User Registration Using Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.5. 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 2.6; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed January 2026, reported by Md. Moniruzzaman Prodhan (NomanProdhan).
Vulnerability Overview
The User Registration Using Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'get_cf7_form_data' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve form settings which includes Facebook app secrets.
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-862: Missing Authorization
User Registration Using Contact Form 7 <= 2.5 carries this weakness at get_cf7_form_data, and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For User Registration Using Contact Form 7 the fix is 2.6: builds <= 2.5 are affected, anything from 2.6 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.6, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: User Registration Using Contact Form 7 2.6 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
