CVE-2025-6783
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe GoZen Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'forms-id' parameter of the emdedSc() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
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 GoZen Forms WordPress plugin versions up to 1.1.5 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the embedSc() function. The 'forms-id' parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a database query, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands.

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.
-
Verify GoZen Forms plugin is installedLog into WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'GoZen Forms' or 'Optinlyhq Gozen Forms' in the list of active plugins.Affected if The plugin is not installed on the WordPress site.
-
Check installed plugin versionIn the Plugins list, click on the plugin name or view details to find the installed version number. Compare this against the affected range: <= 1.1.5.Affected if Installed version is 1.1.5 or lower.
-
Identify if embed functionality is in useReview site content, pages, posts, or widgets for embedded forms using the plugin's shortcode (typically [gozenforms id=] or similar embed patterns). Check if the 'forms-id' parameter is being passed in URLs or form embeddings.Affected if The embedSc() function with 'forms-id' parameter is actively used on the site.
-
Inspect HTTP requests for vulnerable parameterIf forms are embedded, examine the network requests when loading the embedded form page. Look for requests containing the 'forms-id' parameter being passed without proper sanitization.Affected if The 'forms-id' parameter accepts and processes raw input without sanitization.
A site is affected if GoZen Forms plugin version 1.1.5 or lower is installed AND the embed functionality with the 'forms-id' parameter is being used, allowing unauthenticated SQL injection via that parameter.

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 · scopedUpdate the GoZen Forms plugin to version 1.1.6 or later which contains the patched code with proper parameter sanitization and prepared SQL statements.
GoZen Forms 1.1.6 or latest available version
- 1. Log in to WordPress admin dashboard
- 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- 3. Locate GoZen Forms in the plugin list
- 4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to update GoZen Forms to the latest version
