The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.12 does not validate a user-supplied URL before requesting it server-side, allowing unauthenticated attackers to make the site issue HTTP requests to arbitrary hosts (Server-Side Request Forgery).
Articles & Coverage 2
AnalysisAI
Server-Side Request Forgery in the Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.12 allows unauthenticated attackers to coerce the server into issuing HTTP requests to arbitrary attacker-chosen hosts because a user-supplied URL is fetched server-side without validation. This is reachable remotely with no authentication or user interaction (CVSS 9.1), publicly available exploit code exists, and a vendor patch has shipped, but there is no public exploit identified as being used in active attacks (not in CISA KEV). …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The vulnerable code path is the Kirki server-side URL-fetch feature that requests a user-supplied URL without validation; exploitation requires only that a site runs Kirki before 6.0.12 with that endpoint reachable, and per the CVSS PR:N/UI:N no authentication or user interaction is needed - no special non-default configuration is indicated in the description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are consistent and point to a real, high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS: the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N describes trivial, unauthenticated, network-reachable exploitation, and publicly available exploit code lowers the barrier further. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends a crafted unauthenticated HTTP request to the vulnerable Kirki endpoint with a URL parameter pointing at an internal service such as a cloud metadata endpoint (e.g., 169.254.169.254) or an intranet admin panel, and the WordPress server dutifully issues the request and can return or act on the response. Because publicly available exploit code exists and the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, this can be automated at scale against exposed sites with no authentication and no user interaction. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Kirki plugin to version 6.0.12 or later, which is the vendor-released patch that adds validation of the user-supplied URL before the server-side request. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
