AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Editor-level WordPress authentication is required to reach the handler (PR:H); exploitation yields file read only, so integrity and availability are unaffected (I:N/A:N).

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.
AnalysisAI
Directory traversal in the Kirki WordPress plugin (all versions through 6.1.1) allows authenticated attackers with editor-level access to read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a flawed strpos()-based path validation guard in the plugin's AJAX ExportImport handler. By crafting a 'data' parameter value that embeds the uploads directory path as a substring while appending directory traversal sequences, an attacker can escape the intended upload directory restriction and retrieve sensitive files such as wp-config.php containing database credentials and secret keys. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session with at minimum editor-level role, as confirmed by the CVSS PR:H metric and the capability check enforced in Ajax.php at line 349. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately captures the attack surface: the endpoint is network-reachable with low complexity, but exploitation is strictly gated by editor-level WordPress credentials, significantly narrowing the realistic attacker population to insiders, compromised accounts, or sites with open editor registration. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Site owners should update the Kirki plugin to a version released after 6.1.1 as soon as a patched release is available; a fix commit is referenced in the WordPress plugin repository changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3629933%40kirki&new=3629933%40kirki, but the exact patched release version has not been independently confirmed from the available data and should be verified against the official WordPress plugin directory or Themeum's changelog prior to deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
