Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 26.7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-60209 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the CRM Perks Connector for Gravity Forms and Google Sheets WordPress plugin (wp-gravity-forms-spreadsheets). This flaw enables Object Injection and affects all versions from n/a through 1.2.6.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating it is exploitable remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows attackers to achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or system compromise through malicious object deserialization.
