Technical details
The plugin fails to implement email ownership verification in its data request form action (CWE-284: Improper Access Control), and records submissions as pre-confirmed without requiring email validation. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can forge personal data requests targeting arbitrary email addresses by directly submitting to the form endpoint, gaining the ability to initiate verified erasure or export requests for accounts they do not own.
Affected products
- WPScan Redirection for Contact Form 7 2.6.0 to 3.2.15
