Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if the CP Contact Form with PayPal plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory for a folder named 'cp-contact-form-with-paypal' or similar, and list its contents to confirm the presence of cp_contactformpp.php
    Affected if The plugin folder and cp_contactformpp.php file exist in the WordPress plugins directory
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (typically the primary PHP file in the plugin folder) and look for a version comment or constant at the top of the file, or check the plugin header in readme.txt
    Affected if The version number found is 1.1.5 or lower
  3. Locate and inspect the vulnerable file
    Find cp_contactformpp.php within the plugin directory and verify it contains code that processes the cp_contactformpp_id parameter, typically via $_REQUEST or $_GET
    Affected if The file exists and contains handling of the cp_contactformpp_id parameter without visible sanitization functions
  4. Verify the vulnerable code pattern
    Search within cp_contactformpp.php for direct use of the cp_contactformpp_id parameter in SQL queries, looking for patterns like query construction without prepared statements or escaping
    Affected if The parameter is used in SQL queries without proper sanitization or prepared statements
  5. Check if the affected endpoint is accessible
    Attempt to access the cp_contactformpp.php file directly via HTTP request with a test cp_contactformpp_id value to see if the parameter is processed
    Affected if The file responds to requests and processes the cp_contactformpp_id parameter without validation

You are affected if the CP Contact Form with PayPal plugin version is 1.1.5 or lower and the cp_contactformpp.php file processes the cp_contactformpp_id parameter in SQL queries without sanitization.
