Executive Summary

CVE-2026-120407 is a sensitive data disclosure vulnerability in the Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin versions before 6.2.5. It allows users with Editor role or higher to access sensitive user data like password hashes and two-factor authentication secrets from higher-privileged users such as administrators when they view or submit forms.

Detection Guidance

Check the installed version of Contact Form 7 in your WordPress plugins directory. Run: grep -r 'Version' /path/to/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/version.php. If the version is below 6.2.5, the plugin is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If you use Contact Form 7 versions prior to 6.2.5, attackers with Editor access could steal sensitive data like password hashes and two-factor secrets from administrators or other high-privilege users who interact with forms. This could lead to further account compromise or unauthorized access.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive personal data, potentially violating GDPR's data protection requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Organizations may face compliance violations if user data is exposed due to this flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Contact Form 7 plugin to version 6.2.5 or later immediately. Disable the plugin temporarily if an update is not immediately available. Review user roles and restrict Editor-level access to sensitive forms.
