CVE-2026-80491: SAMO Forms SQL injection in unauthenticated actions

CVE-2026-80491 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.6 · Published 2026-09-12

SAMO Forms is a WordPress plugin used to create and manage forms on websites.

Technical details

The SAMO Forms plugin through version 1.0.0 contains a SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerability in several unauthenticated actions due to inadequate input sanitization and escaping. User-supplied input is directly concatenated into SQL queries without proper parameterization or filtering. The vulnerability is accessible without authentication, making it remotely exploitable over the network. Attackers can craft malicious input to extract arbitrary data from the database, modify records, or execute administrative commands depending on database permissions. No official patch has been identified at the time of publication; users should update to a version newer than 1.0.0 or implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) until fixes are available.
