CVE-2025-13973

What is known

The StickEasy Protected Contact Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. The plugin stores spam detection logs at a predictable publicly accessible location (wp-content/uploads/stickeasy-protected-contact-form/spcf-log.txt). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download the log file and access sensitive information including visitor IP addresses, email addresses, and comment snippets from contact form submissions that were flagged as spam.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-13973, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
