CVE-2026-25320 affects the WordPress Elementor Contact Form DB plugin by Cool Plugins. The issue is broken access control, meaning the plugin may allow actions that should require authorization. The public record rates it medium severity, with limited integrity impact and no stated confidentiality or availability impact.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate WordPress plugin risk. Prioritize internet-facing or business-critical WordPress sites, especially those collecting form submissions. The main concern is unauthorized modification or misuse of plugin functionality, not confirmed data theft or service outage based on current public information.
Technical view

Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE metadata and Patchstack entry. The exact vulnerable function, route, required plugin configuration, and fixed version are not provided in the supplied source bundle. Avoid assuming exploitation or remediation details beyond the published CVSS and affected-version range.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the sb-elementor-contact-form-db plugin.
- Identify installations running Elementor Contact Form DB version 2.1.3 or earlier.
- Check vendor and Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or official mitigation.
- Update the plugin if an official fixed version is available.
- If no fix exists, consider disabling or removing the plugin after business review.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed and active on each WordPress site.
- Record the installed plugin version and compare it to the affected range.
- Verify remediation by confirming update, deactivation, or removal.
- Review web and application logs for unusual plugin-related activity.
- Monitor CVE and Patchstack entries for updated technical details.
