Kali Forms Contact Form Drag And Drop Builder
Monthly
Remote code execution in the Kali Forms WordPress plugin (≤2.4.20) allows unauthenticated network attackers to execute arbitrary PHP on the server by submitting a crafted POST request to a vulnerable form. The _save_data() function fails to validate the 'thisPermalink' POST field before it overwrites a trusted callable placeholder, which is then passed unsanitized to call_user_func(). Exploitation is conditional on a specific form configuration (see exploitation_conditions), reflected in the CVSS AC:H rating; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Stored cross-site scripting in the Kali Forms - Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder plugin for WordPress (all versions through 2.4.18) lets fully unauthenticated attackers persist arbitrary JavaScript through the form's 'digitalSignature' field value, which is neither sanitized on input nor escaped on output. Because the form-submission nonce is exposed on any page rendering the form shortcode, the normal anti-CSRF barrier provides no protection, and the injected script executes in the browser of any user (including administrators) who later views the affected page. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and lack of authentication make it a practical scan-and-spray candidate.
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.
Kali Forms - Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before version 2.4.17 allows any authenticated Contributor-level (or higher) user to duplicate arbitrary posts they do not own by exploiting a missing per-object authorization check in the plugin's AJAX post-duplication action. The attacker gains a published copy of the target post under their own ownership and can extract private post metadata, including secrets stored by other Kali Forms instances on the same site. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan; the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the low privilege bar and default-enabled feature make it an actionable risk on any multi-user WordPress installation running the affected plugin.
Unauthenticated file upload to the WordPress Media Library is possible in Kali Forms - Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder versions before 2.4.17, because the plugin's upload handler accepts file submissions without verifying that a corresponding form with a file-upload field actually exists on the site. Any unauthenticated remote attacker can directly invoke the upload endpoint and deposit files into the Media Library. Impact is bounded by WordPress's core MIME type allowlist, which prevents upload of executable files and thereby rules out code execution; a publicly available proof-of-concept is confirmed by WPScan, and no CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis.
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Kali Forms WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.4.13) allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access to inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'meta[kaliforms_field_components]' parameter. Any WordPress user who subsequently visits a page containing the injected form will execute the attacker's script in their browser, making session hijacking, credential theft, and admin account takeover realistic outcomes. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low privilege bar (contributor) makes this a realistic risk on multi-author WordPress sites.
Stored cross-site scripting in the Kali Forms WordPress plugin (before 2.4.13) allows Contributor-level users to inject arbitrary JavaScript into form field captions, which execute in an administrator's browser session when the admin views the form-entries screen. A compounding missing capability check in the plugin's post-duplication action enables the same low-privilege attacker to publish the malicious form without administrator approval, removing the dependency on an admin independently discovering the unpublished form. A publicly available exploit (via WPScan) exists, and the plugin vendor has released a patch in version 2.4.13. No CISA KEV listing is present, indicating no confirmed mass exploitation at time of analysis.
