CVE-2025-8420 - Request A Quote Form Plugin
CVE-2025-8420
The Request a Quote Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in version less than, or equal to, 2.5.2 via the emd_form_builder_lite_pagenum function. This is due to the plugin not properly validating user input before using it as a function name. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, however, parameters can not be passed to the functions called.

Technical Summary
The Request a Quote Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in version less than, or equal to, 2.5.2 via the emd_form_builder_lite_pagenum function. This is due to the plugin not properly validating user input before using it as a function name. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, however, parameters can not be passed to the functions called.
Potential Impact
Severity is HIGH (CVSS 8.1). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.
Exploitability Assessment
Exploitability is assessed as Very High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.
Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites
Mitigation Recommendations
Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.
Detection & Monitoring
Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.
Business Impact Lens
Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
