Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-60082 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the PDF for WPForms plugin (pdf-for-wpforms) from add-ons.org, which allows Object Injection. The issue affects the plugin from n/a through version 6.5.0 and was published on 2025-12-18.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). An attacker with low privileges, such as an authenticated WordPress user, can exploit it over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required, potentially resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
