Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-17604

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-17604

Date
Aug 16, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.1 via the 'data' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The intended strpos()-based guard against leaving the uploads directory is bypassed by crafting a URL that includes the uploads base path as a substring while embedding directory traversal sequences, such as /wp-content/uploads/../../wp-config.php.
Affected versions
max 6.2.0.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-18347

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-18347

Date
Aug 16, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to read arbitrary user metadata and sensitive user record fields — including email address, assigned roles, registration date, and any user_meta values — belonging to any WordPress user including administrators, by supplying a target user ID with a user-type context to the frontend collection endpoint.
Affected versions
max 6.2.0.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-16747

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-16747

Date
Aug 12, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.2.1 does not properly authorise its front-end form submission REST routes and passes attacker-controlled input through shortcode execution, allowing unauthenticated users to run any shortcode registered on the site, which on a default install leads to disclosure of the site administrator's email address and an arbitrary-recipient mail relay from the victim's domain.
Affected versions
max 6.2.1.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-16974

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-16974

Date
Aug 11, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the post_meta Shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Affected versions
max 6.2.1.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-12721

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-12721

Date
Jul 31, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13 does not properly sanitise and escape a value taken from the request before using it in a SQL statement, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.
Affected versions
max 6.0.13.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-15601

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-15601

Date
Aug 01, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal (Zip Slip) in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.13 via the extract_zip_file function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to write arbitrary files on the server, which can allow for remote code execution. The install_app, update_app, and get_kirki_template_from_zip code paths accept a user-supplied app src value to construct the download URL, and no sanitization is applied to prevent a crafted ZIP from being fetched and extracted with path-traversing entry names that escape the intended destination directory.
Affected versions
max 6.1.0.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-12720

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-12720

Date
Jul 31, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13 does not restrict which classes may be instantiated when it deserialises data that unauthenticated users can store, leading to PHP Object Injection that is triggered when an administrator later reviews the stored data. With a suitable gadget chain present on the site (via another installed Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13, , or an outdated WordPress version), this could be leveraged to perform a variety of attacks, such as remote code execution.
Affected versions
max 6.0.13.
Status
vulnerable

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-13464

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-13464

Date
Jul 24, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.14 via the 'context' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the full title, content, and excerpt of any WordPress post — including drafts, pending, privately published, password-protected, and trashed posts — regardless of author, by supplying an arbitrary post ID via the context parameter alongside an attacker-controlled block template.
Affected versions
max 6.1.0.
Status
vulnerable

The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.12 does not perform any authorisation check on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to overwrite the content of arbitrary existing comments and to create pre-approved comments under a spoofed identity, bypassing comment moderation.
Affected versions
max 6.0.12.
Status

Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.13 via the 'family' parameter.

Kirki Customizer Framework # CVE-2026-12472

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-12472

Date
Jul 02, 2026
Research Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.11. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send arbitrary HTML-injected emails — including phishing messages embedding a real, valid WordPress password-reset URL for the targeted user — to any registered user via the site's own mail server, abusing its SPF/DKIM reputation. The attacker-controlled emailSubject parameter is passed to wp_mail() with only sanitize_text_field() applied, while emailBody 'text' items are concatenated raw into the HTML email body with no escaping, and 'chip' items can include the genuine WordPress password-reset link for the targeted account.
Affected versions
max 6.0.12.
Status
vulnerable
