# Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin leaks admin password hashes to editors

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-120407 (this .md is for agents)

Before version 6.2.5, the Contact Form 7 plugin let a form field's default value pull any user property, including password hashes and two-factor secrets. A user with the Editor role can use this to read those values for administrators who view the form.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Contact Form 7 version in the plugin list or the plugin's readme; a version below `6.2.5` is affected.

## Fix

- Contact Form 7 `6.2.5` or later (per the source's 'before 6.2.5' statement)

## Timeline

- 2026-11-13T06:42:16+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-120407

## From the sources

The Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin before 6.2.5 does not restrict which user properties a form field's default value can be populated from, allowing users with the Editor role and above to obtain the password hash and sensitive user meta (such as two-factor secrets) of higher-privileged users, including administrators, who view and submit the form.
