CVE-2025-5692Network attack vector

Authenticated settings changes via unchecked AJAX handlers

Published Jul 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in Lead Form Data Collection to CRM 3.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to change plugin settings. Several AJAX handlers in includes/LB_admin_ajax.php perform settings-changing operations without verifying the caller's WordPress capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; arbitrary WordPress option updates are assigned to a separate CVE.
