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 confidenceThe gf-constant-contact WordPress plugin for Gravity Forms contains a deserialization vulnerability where untrusted user input is being passed to PHP's unserialize() function. This allows an attacker to craft malicious serialized PHP objects that can trigger magic methods to achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.1.2.

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 the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named 'gf-constant-contact', 'crmperks-gf-constant-contact', or similar constant-contact related folders from Crmperks.Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
-
Check the installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually named the same as the folder) or the readme.txt file within the plugin directory and locate the version number declared in the plugin header.Affected if The version number displayed is 1.1.2 or lower (any version up to and including 1.1.2)
-
Locate the vulnerable unserialize() callSearch all PHP files within the plugin directory for the pattern 'unserialize(' - specifically look for instances where $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, or other user input sources are passed directly to unserialize().Affected if PHP files contain unserialize() calls processing untrusted user input without prior sanitization
-
Verify the plugin is activeLog into the WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or query the wp_options table for the active_plugins option to check if the plugin is currently enabled.Affected if The plugin shows as active in WordPress and the vulnerable code is present
You are affected if the Crmperks Gravity Forms Constant Contact plugin is installed, active, and running version 1.1.2 or lower with the vulnerable unserialize() function handling untrusted input.

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.
dbcve · scopedReplace any insecure deserialization of user input (unserialize()) with safer alternatives like JSON encoding, implement proper input validation, and update to the latest patched version when released by the vendor.
Latest available version of WP Gravity Forms Constant Contact Plugin (vendor should be contacted to confirm the specific fixed release)
- Check the WordPress admin dashboard for plugin updates under Plugins > All Plugins
- Update the WP Gravity Forms Constant Contact Plugin to the latest available version
- After updating, verify the new version number in the plugin list to confirm the update was applied
- Review the plugin's changelog or the vendor's website to confirm the security fix is included in the installed version
- If automatic updates are not enabled, consider enabling them for this plugin or implementing a manual update monitoring process
