CVE-2025-7697Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file deletion via unsafe PHP deserialization

Published Jul 19, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

PHP object injection in CRM Perks' Google Sheets integration plugin 1.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files. The verify_field_val() function deserializes an untrusted form-field value as a PHP object without restricting object creation. File deletion requires a usable POP chain in Contact Form 7; deleting wp-config.php interrupts the site and can enable remote code execution.
