Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the target site to host at least one PUBLISHED page built from a Kirki template that includes a user-type dynamic content block - this specific template/block must be present and live, and is the sole hard prerequisite. When that condition is met, no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), and target user IDs are freely enumerable through standard WordPress REST endpoints, so the attacker needs no prior knowledge of valid accounts. The limiting factor is entirely the non-default presence of the vulnerable template: sites running Kirki ≤6.3.2 without such a published page containing a user-type dynamic block are not exploitable via this vector. Impact is confined to disclosure of string-valued profile and user-meta fields; no integrity or availability impact.

Impact

This is a genuine but bounded priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N = 7.5) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable, unauthenticated, no user interaction, pure confidentiality impact via an IDOR (CWE-639) in the 'context' parameter. However, several higher-risk signals are ABSENT: no EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is indicated - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The impact is strictly information disclosure (C:H, I:N, A:N), not code execution or takeover, which tempers real-world severity despite the 'HIGH' rating. A notable tension exists between the AV:N/AC:L framing and the stated prerequisite that the site must already host a published page using a Kirki template containing at least one user-type dynamic content block - this is a non-attacker-controlled deployment condition that NVD's AC:L does not reflect; many installations will not be exploitable at all, so realistic exposure is narrower than the 7.5 suggests. Treat as a medium-priority patch-soon item: trivially exploitable WHERE the vulnerable template is present, but not universally exploitable across all installs.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker enumerates valid user IDs via standard WordPress REST endpoints (e.g. /wp-json/wp/v2/users), then issues a crafted request manipulating the 'context' parameter against a published page built with a Kirki user-type dynamic content block. The REST response discloses targeted users' sensitive profile data (email, display name, nicename, registration date, avatar URL, and string-valued meta such as first/last name and description). No public exploit code is identified, but the technique is straightforward given the enumerable IDs and low attack complexity.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 17, 2026

Unauthenticated information disclosure in the Kirki - Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress through 6.3.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary users’ profile data by manipulating the 'context' parameter. The flaw is exploitable only when a published page uses a Kirki template containing at least one user-type dynamic content block, but under that condition no authentication or user interaction is needed and user IDs can be enumerated through standard WordPress REST endpoints. Impact is limited to disclosure of string-valued profile and user-meta fields, with no integrity or availability effect; no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream fix referenced by changeset 3743904; it is an upstream fix available (changeset/commit), but a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the available data, so verify the installed Kirki version against the Wordfence advisory before considering the site fixed. Until then, remove or unpublish every page built from a Kirki template that contains a user-type dynamic content block, or delete that block from the template, which closes the only reachable exploitation path at the cost of losing that dynamic content. As a compensating control, restrict or block the affected Kirki frontend REST controller route at the WAF or reverse proxy while preserving other /wp-json traffic, and test carefully because broad REST API blocking can break legitimate blocks, editors, and integrations. Monitor for unusual requests carrying the 'context' parameter and for user-ID enumeration against WordPress REST endpoints, and check the vendor advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/1f2fd69f-d432-4eb2-9d28-cfd7dd100e82?source=cve for updated fixed-version guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CVE-2026-107762 is a CWE-639 authorization bypass, specifically an insecure direct object reference, in Kirki's frontend REST API layer. The plugin's frontend REST controller code in FrontendRESTController.php and CollectionController.php accepts a user-controlled 'context' key and uses it to select which user's data is returned; because the code does not validate that key against the caller's identity or capabilities, an attacker can substitute an arbitrary user ID. Utils.php and HelperFunctions.php provide the data assembly path that returns profile fields and string-valued user meta in the REST response. The CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, so the attacker is remote and unauthenticated, and the only gate is the site-side prerequisite: a published page built from a Kirki template that includes a user-type dynamic content block. Standard WordPress REST endpoints make target user IDs enumerable, removing the need for prior account knowledge. The CPE maps the affected component to themeum's Kirki plugin.

DescriptionNVD

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, 6.3.2 via the 'context' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to expose arbitrary users' sensitive profile data - including email address, display name, nicename, registration date, profile image URL, and any string-valued user meta fields such as first name, last name, nickname, description, and custom meta keys - via the REST response. Exploitation requires a published page that uses a Kirki template containing at least one user-type dynamic content block; target user IDs are enumerable via standard WordPress REST endpoints, making the only prerequisite the presence of such a template on the site.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Kirki Freeform Page Builder plugin for WordPress (through version 6.3.2) can expose user profile and user-meta fields on sites that publish a Kirki template containing a user-type dynamic content block, creating privacy and potential regulatory exposure if exploited. Leadership should care because this affects a common site-building component, can be triggered remotely under those publishing conditions, and no vendor-released patch is currently available; however, no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include disabling or removing the Kirki plugin on affected sites, unpublishing or removing Kirki templates that contain user-type dynamic content blocks, restricting and monitoring WordPress REST API user endpoints, deploying WAF/virtual-patching rules to block 'context' parameter manipulation, and reducing exposed user-meta fields.
