Kirki Freeform Page Builder Website Builder Customizer
Monthly
Authorization bypass in the Kirki Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress (all versions through 6.1.1) exposes arbitrary user metadata - including email addresses, assigned roles, registration dates, and all user_meta values - to any authenticated user with custom-level access or above. The flaw is rooted in the plugin's frontend collection REST endpoint failing to verify that the requesting user is authorized to retrieve records for the specified target user ID. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low access barrier (any WordPress account qualifies) makes it a realistic risk on sites with open or attacker-controlled user registration.
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. No active exploitation has been confirmed and no CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS score of 4.9 (Medium) reflects the high privilege requirement, though the confidentiality impact is rated High due to the severity of files that can be exposed as a precursor to full site compromise.
Stored cross-site scripting in Themeum's Kirki Freeform Page Builder plugin (all versions through 6.2.0) allows WordPress users holding Contributor-level access to inject persistent malicious scripts via the post_meta shortcode, which then execute in the browser of any subsequent visitor to the compromised page. The CVSS scope change (S:C) signals that the impact crosses from the contributor's own session boundary into victim sessions, enabling session hijacking, credential exfiltration, or privilege escalation toward site administration. A fix commit is available in the WordPress plugin repository (changeset 3636487), and no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Zip Slip path traversal in the Kirki WordPress plugin (all versions through 6.0.13) enables authenticated attackers with custom-level access or above to write arbitrary files anywhere on the server, leading to remote code execution. The root cause is the plugin's app installation and update workflows - install_app, update_app, and get_kirki_template_from_zip - which fetch a user-supplied external ZIP URL via an unsanitized app src parameter and extract its contents without validating entry names for path-traversal sequences. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the write-to-RCE escalation path is mechanically straightforward once the authentication bar is cleared.
Unauthorized content disclosure in the Kirki - Freeform Page Builder plugin for WordPress (all versions ≤ 6.0.14) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read the full title, body, and excerpt of any WordPress post by supplying an arbitrary post ID via the unvalidated `context` parameter in the plugin's frontend REST API. Affected content includes drafts, pending posts, privately published posts, password-protected posts, and trashed posts - bypassing all native WordPress visibility controls. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and no public POC is identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires zero authentication and low complexity per the CVSS vector.
Directory traversal via the unsanitized 'family' parameter in the Kirki plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 6.0.13) enables authenticated users holding editor-level access or above to delete arbitrary directories on the server filesystem, risking data loss and site unavailability. Reported by Wordfence, the flaw originates in insufficient path validation within FontService.php and GlobalDataController.php, which process the 'family' parameter without canonicalization or boundary enforcement. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis, but the potential for irreversible filesystem destruction makes this a meaningful risk on any WordPress site granting editor access to untrusted accounts.
Authorization bypass in the Kirki Freeform Page Builder plugin for WordPress (all versions through 6.0.11) enables unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger arbitrary HTML-injected emails to any registered user via the site's own mail infrastructure. Because the email is dispatched through the site's authenticated SMTP path, it inherits the domain's SPF and DKIM reputation, substantially increasing phishing credibility. Critically, attackers can embed a genuine, site-generated WordPress password-reset URL for the target account inside an attacker-controlled HTML body, creating a highly convincing credential-harvesting lure. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is confirmed at time of analysis.
Unauthenticated sensitive information exposure in the Kirki - Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer WordPress plugin (versions through 6.0.11) permits any remote attacker to retrieve the full builder metadata and rendered HTML of any kirki_symbol post - including unpublished drafts - by issuing a crafted AJAX request with a sequential WordPress post ID. The root cause is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the get_single_symbol AJAX handler registered in includes/Ajax.php, confirmed by Wordfence. No active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS data was provided, but the trivially automatable nature of post ID enumeration against an unauthenticated network endpoint elevates practical risk above the raw CVSS 5.3 score suggests.
Account takeover in the Kirki Freeform Page Builder WordPress plugin (versions 6.0.0 through 6.0.6) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to hijack any registered account, including administrators, by redirecting password reset links to attacker-controlled email addresses. The flaw stems from the plugin honoring an arbitrary email value supplied alongside a valid username in password reset requests, breaking the trust binding between account and recovery destination. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial nature of the bug and Wordfence's published advisory make weaponization straightforward.
Arbitrary file read and deletion in the Kirki - Freeform Page Builder plugin for WordPress (versions through 6.0.6) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read and delete files within the WordPress uploads base directory by abusing the 'downloadZIP' function. The flaw stems from insufficient path validation and a missing capability check, and was reported by Wordfence; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Authorization bypass in the Kirki Freeform Page Builder plugin for WordPress (all versions through 6.0.6) allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level privileges to enumerate and read all frontend form structures and stored visitor submission data, including contact details and messages submitted through any site form powered by the plugin. The flaw originates in missing authorization checks on an AJAX handler (Ajax.php, line 675), meaning any logged-in user - including the lowest-privilege role WordPress assigns - can exfiltrate sensitive visitor-submitted information without any administrative context. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low privilege barrier and network-accessible attack vector make this a realistic data exposure risk for any multi-user or public-registration WordPress site running the affected plugin.

The root cause is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the get_single_symbol AJAX handler registered in includes/Ajax.php, confirmed by Wordfence.
