Impact

This weakness, classified as CWE-862, can enable users to perform actions on the site that they are not authorized to do, such as manipulating form data or retrieving sensitive information stored via the Google Sheets integration.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WordPress CF7 Google Sheets Connector plugin, specifically versions up to and including 5.0.17. The affected product is published by WesternDeal and is used within the WordPress ecosystem.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation based on current model predictions.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update CF7 Google Sheets Connector to the latest version (>=5.0.18) once it is available to apply the missing authorization checks.
  • If an update cannot be performed immediately, restrict access to the plugin’s configuration pages to administrator users only and disable any roles that do not need to manage the integration.
  • Review and audit the Google Sheets integration configuration to confirm that only trusted forms and Google Sheet IDs are connected; remove any unused or suspicious connections.
  • As a temporary measure, monitor the WordPress admin for unusual activity and consider applying a web application firewall rule to block or rate‑limit requests to the plugin’s endpoints.
