An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-23862 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SzMake Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot. 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-2025-23862/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23862/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-23862","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23862/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-23862","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mch5-6v3v-jmw3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot plugin due to missing authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in SzMake Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot contact-form-7-anti-spambot allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot: from n/a through \u003c= 1.0.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot plugin \u003c= 1.0.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23862","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Rollover Tab plugin \u003c= 1.3.2 - Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23863"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Debt Calculator plugin \u003c= 1.0.1 - CSRF to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23861"},"products":["Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot"],"published":"2025-01-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["SzMake"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Contact Form 7 Anti Spambot plugin due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23862/"}
