CVE-2026-12094Advanced Contact Form 7 <= 1.0.0 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Contact Form Submission Deletion via 'form_id' Parameter
Medium 5.3
In plain English
A medium-severity missing authorization in Advanced Contact Form 7 – Compact DB from iamranit. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 35% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Advanced Contact Form 7 - Compact DB plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of data due to a missing capability check on the cf7cdb_ajax_delete_user() function in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. The handler is registered against both `wp_ajax_cf7cdb_delete` and `wp_ajax_nopriv_cf7cdb_delete`, and it performs no nonce verification, no capability check, and no ownership check before invoking `$wpdb->delete()` against the `wp_cf7cdb_data` table with an attacker-supplied integer ID. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary contact form submission entries stored by the plugin by iterating sequential primary-key IDs.
