CVE-2025-7638: Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder <= 1.45.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) SQL Injection via `order_by` Parameter
The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the orderby parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.45.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
