CRITICAL 9.8

DescriptionCVE.org

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.9 via the 'form_process' function. This is due to the 'prepare_post_data' function mapping user-supplied keys directly into internal placeholder storage, combined with the use of 'call_user_func' on these placeholder values. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.

POC CVE-2026-3584: Kali Forms <= 2.4.9 Unauthenticated RCE & Privilege Escalation Mar 25, 2026

AnalysisAI

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress contains a critical remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server. All versions up to and including 2.4.9 are affected, including the popular 'Kali Forms - Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder' plugin by WPChill. The vulnerability carries a critical CVSS score of 9.8 due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and lack of required authentication or user interaction.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects the Kali Forms plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wpchill:kali_forms_—_contact_form_&_drag-and-drop_builder:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), specifically in the form_processor.php file's 'form_process' function. The root cause is CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code / Code Injection), where the 'prepare_post_data' function maps user-supplied keys directly into internal placeholder storage without proper sanitization. These placeholder values are subsequently passed to PHP's 'call_user_func' function, which interprets them as callable functions or methods. This creates a direct path from untrusted user input to code execution, representing a textbook code injection vulnerability in a WordPress plugin context.

RemediationAI

Immediately update the Kali Forms plugin to version 2.4.10 or later, which addresses this vulnerability as documented in WordPress plugin changeset 3487024 available at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3487024/kali-forms. Site administrators should verify the plugin version in the WordPress dashboard and apply updates immediately. Until patching is complete, consider temporarily disabling the Kali Forms plugin if it is not business-critical, or implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block suspicious requests to the form_process endpoint. Review server logs for any signs of exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability, particularly POST requests with unusual parameter names that might represent function calls. After patching, conduct a security audit to ensure no unauthorized code or backdoors were installed if the site was potentially compromised.
