CVE-2026-44548
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 · uneditedChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.3.2, top-level cross-site GET navigation from an attacker-controlled page to FundRaiserDelete.php, PropertyTypeDelete.php, or NoteDelete.php causes a logged-in ChurchCRM user with the relevant role to silently delete records, including cascaded property and record-to-property assignments. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.2.
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 confidenceThis is a CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) vulnerability in ChurchCRM where attacker-controlled pages can trigger silent record deletion via GET requests to FundRaiserDelete.php, PropertyTypeDelete.php, and NoteDelete.php. A logged-in user with the relevant role visiting a malicious site will unknowingly trigger deletion of records including cascaded property and record-to-property assignments.

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.
-
Locate ChurchCRM installationSearch for ChurchCRM files on the server, typically in web root directories. Look for the presence of ChurchCRM configuration files or the main index.phpAffected if ChurchCRM is not found on the system, the system is not affected by this CVE
-
Determine installed ChurchCRM versionCheck the version file or header files in the ChurchCRM installation. Common locations include version.php, includes/config.php, or a VERSION file in the root directoryAffected if The installed version is earlier than 7.3.2 (e.g., 7.3.1, 7.3.0, earlier releases)
-
Verify affected delete endpoints existLocate and confirm the presence of FundRaiserDelete.php, PropertyTypeDelete.php, and NoteDelete.php in the ChurchCRM web directory, typically under the root or a module subdirectoryAffected if Any of these three PHP files exist in the installation and the version is below 7.3.2
-
Inspect delete endpoints for CSRF protectionOpen each affected PHP file (FundRaiserDelete.php, PropertyTypeDelete.php, NoteDelete.php) and search for CSRF token validation logic, such as checks for token presence, session validation, or request verification before performing delete operationsAffected if The delete endpoints lack CSRF token validation and allow deletion via GET requests without verifying the request origin
A ChurchCRM installation is affected if it is running a version earlier than 7.3.2 and contains the vulnerable delete endpoints without CSRF token validation logic.

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 · scopedUpgrade to ChurchCRM version 7.3.2 or later, which implements CSRF token validation on the delete endpoints to prevent unauthenticated cross-site deletion requests.
ChurchCRM 7.3.2
- Backup your ChurchCRM database and files before upgrading
- Download ChurchCRM version 7.3.2 from the official GitHub repository (github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM)
- Extract and install the new version, replacing the previous installation
- Verify that the following files now include CSRF protection: FundRaiserDelete.php, PropertyTypeDelete.php, NoteDelete.php
- Test that the delete operations require POST requests with valid anti-CSRF tokens
- Confirm the application functions normally after upgrade
