Contact Form Advanced Database <= 1.0.8 - Missing Authorization

Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2021-24790
CVSS High (8.5)
Publicly Published November 15, 2021
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Quentin VILLAIN (3wsec)
Description

The Contact Form Advanced Database WordPress plugin through 1.0.8 does not have any authorisation as well as CSRF checks in its delete_cf7_data and export_cf7_data AJAX actions, available to any authenticated users, which could allow users with a role as low as subscriber to call them. The delete_cf7_data would lead to arbitrary metadata deletion, as well as PHP Object Injection if a suitable gadget chain is present in another plugin, as user data is passed to the maybe_unserialize() function without being first validated.
