Attack Vectors

CVE-2025-31914 is a High severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting Pixel WordPress Form BuilderPlugin & Autoresponder (slug: pixel-formbuilder) in versions up to and including 1.0.2. The issue is an unauthenticated SQL Injection, meaning an attacker can attempt exploitation remotely without needing a login.

From a business-risk perspective, the most concerning aspect is the lack of required user interaction: attackers can potentially target any site running the vulnerable plugin simply by sending crafted web requests that abuse a user-supplied parameter tied to database queries.

Public vulnerability records: CVE-2025-31914. Additional vendor/community details: Wordfence advisory.

Security Weakness

The weakness is caused by insufficient escaping of a user-controlled parameter and a lack of sufficient preparation in an existing SQL query. In practical terms, this can allow attackers to append additional SQL to an application query, potentially enabling them to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database.

Because the vulnerability is unauthenticated, it increases exposure for public-facing sites—especially those using the plugin on high-traffic pages (for example, landing pages, contact forms, lead capture forms) where marketing programs often concentrate traffic.

Remediation: Update Pixel WordPress Form BuilderPlugin & Autoresponder to version 1.0.3 or newer (patched). Prioritize this update as a high-severity fix and confirm the plugin version in production environments as well as staging copies that may be publicly accessible.

Technical or Business Impacts

If exploited, this SQL Injection vulnerability can enable attackers to access sensitive database information. For many organizations, that database may include customer/contact records, user account data, site configuration details, and other operational information. Even when payment data is not stored in WordPress, exposure of contact data and user accounts can still trigger serious downstream risk.

Key business impacts may include:

Data exposure and compliance risk: Unauthorized access to personal data can create notification obligations, regulatory scrutiny, and contractual issues with partners or clients—especially for organizations subject to privacy requirements.

Brand and revenue impact: Compromised lead-capture infrastructure can erode trust, reduce conversion rates, and disrupt campaign performance. Marketing teams may also be forced to pause campaigns while investigating and remediating.

Incident response cost: Investigations, forensics, emergency patching, and communications efforts consume leadership time and budget. In some cases, organizations may need to reset credentials, rotate secrets, and conduct broader security reviews.

Similar attacks (real examples): SQL injection has been used in high-profile breaches across industries, including the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) findings that consistently highlight web application attacks as a common pathway; the Ashley Madison breach (widely reported, involving web application compromise); and Equifax (a major incident tied to a web application vulnerability class, underscoring how app-layer weaknesses can become enterprise-wide crises).
