What is CVE-2018-25347?

The Contact Form Maker Plugin for WordPress version 1.12.20 suffers from SQL injection vulnerabilities that may allow authenticated attackers to manipulate database queries via the FormMakerSQLMapping and generate_csv_fmc AJAX actions. By crafting specific input through the 'name' and 'search_labels' parameters, malicious actors can execute arbitrary SQL commands, leading to potential exposure of sensitive database information or privilege escalation.
