An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-40609 exists.\n\nAffected product: Aiyaz, maheshpatel Contact form 7 Custom validation. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40609/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40609/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40609","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40609/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40609","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rq4x-9q74-vqwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Contact form 7 Custom validation plugin, potentially accessing or modifying database content.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"contact_form_7_custom_validation","vendor":"rocklobster"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Aiyaz, maheshpatel Contact form 7 Custom validation allows SQL Injection.This issue affects Contact form 7 Custom validation: from n/a through 1.1.3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Contact form 7 Custom validation Plugin \u003c= 1.1.3 is vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-40609","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Apache Superset: Privilege escalation with default examples database","id":"CVE-2023-40610"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Paid Memberships Pro CCBill Gateway plugin \u003c= 0.3 - Unauthenticated Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-40608"},"products":["Contact form 7 Custom validation"],"published":"2023-11-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Aiyaz, maheshpatel"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Contact form 7 Custom validation plugin, potentially accessing or modifying database content.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40609/"}
