WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Contact Form 7 < 6.2.5 - Editor+ Sensitive User Data Disclosure via Form Default Values

Description

The plugin 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.
