Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid WordPress user account with at minimum Contributor-level access on the target site. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-provided CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N scores 5.5 (Medium), but this vector contains a significant discrepancy: it assigns PR:H (high privilege), whereas the CVE description explicitly states that Contributor-level access or above is sufficient. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan. An attacker with a Contributor account on a WordPress site - such as a guest blogger or external content contributor - sends a crafted AJAX request to the Kali Forms post-duplication endpoint with the ID of a private post or form belonging to another user. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Kali Forms - Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin to version 2.4.17 or later, which introduces the missing per-object capability check in the AJAX post-duplication handler. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
