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 · moderate confidenceMissing authorization vulnerability in the August Infotech Multi-language Responsive Contact Form plugin allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access certain functionality that should be constrained by access control lists (ACLs). This broken access control enables attackers to perform actions or access resources they should not have permission to reach.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if the plugin is installedCheck your WordPress plugins directory or admin panel for 'August Infotech Multi-language Responsive Contact Form' or similar namingAffected if The plugin is present in the installation
-
Locate the plugin version fileAccess the plugin's main PHP file (usually in wp-content/plugins/august-infotech-multi-language-responsive-contact-form/) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments, or check the readme.txt fileAffected if Unable to determine the installed version for comparison
-
Compare your version to any documented vulnerable versionReview the plugin's changelog, WordPress repository, or vendor advisories for CVE-2025-29000 to identify the specific vulnerable version rangeAffected if Your installed version matches a known vulnerable version range for this CVE
-
Test for unauthorized endpoint accessUsing a tool like Burp Suite or curl, send requests to common plugin AJAX endpoints or admin-ajax.php with plugin-specific actions without valid authentication tokens or user sessionsAffected if Requests succeed and return sensitive data or perform actions without authorization errors
You are affected if the August Infotech Multi-language Responsive Contact Form plugin is installed and exposes sensitive functionality to unauthenticated or unauthorized users without proper ACL checks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper authorization checks on all sensitive endpoints and functions within the plugin. Update to a patched version if available, or review and add role-based access controls (RBAC) to enforce proper ACL constraints on all functionality.
