Description
The Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4 via deserialization of untrusted input in the get_lead_fields function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain in a Contact Form 7 plugin allows attackers to delete arbitrary files. Additionally, in certain server configurations, Remote Code Execution is possible

AI Analysis

Impact

The Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection through deserialization of untrusted input in the get_lead_fields function. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary PHP objects, which when processed in conjunction with a known POP chain in Contact Form 7 can lead to deletion of arbitrary files. In certain server configurations, the injected payload can also be used to achieve remote code execution.

Affected Systems

The vulnerable component is the Redirection for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin developed by ThemeIsle. Versions up to and including 3.2.4 are affected. The plugin is commonly installed on WordPress sites that use Contact Form 7.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.8, indicating a high severity. The EPSS score of 2% suggests a non‑negligible likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is most likely through data submitted to a public contact form, which is unauthenticated. Exploitation requires that the site runs an affected version of the plugin and has the default configuration that allows PHP object deserialization; if the server also processes the POP chain, the attacker may delete files or execute code.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin immediately to a release that removes the vulnerable deserialization code (e.g., version 3.2.5 or later).
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed right away, disable the plugin or remove the get_lead_fields functionality until a patch is available.
  • Deploy a Web Application Firewall rule that blocks POST requests containing PHP serialized data to the lead endpoint, thereby preventing the deserialization of untrusted input.
