Kirki <= 6.0.13 - Authenticated (Editor+) Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Write (Zip Slip)

Affected versions: *-6.0.13

Vulnerability type: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal (Zip Slip) in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.13 via the extract_zip_file function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to write arbitrary files on the server, which can allow for remote code execution. The install_app, update_app, and get_kirki_template_from_zip code paths accept a user-supplied app src value to construct the download URL, and no sanitization is applied to prevent a crafted ZIP from being fetched and extracted with path-traversing entry names that escape the intended destination directory.

Kirki <= 6.0.14 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Unauthenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure via 'context' Parameter

Affected versions: *-6.0.14

Vulnerability type: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.14 via the 'context' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the full title, content, and excerpt of any WordPress post — including drafts, pending, privately published, password-protected, and trashed posts — regardless of author, by supplying an arbitrary post ID via the context parameter alongside an attacker-controlled block template.

Vulnerability type: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 6.0.12 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.

Kirki <= 6.0.11 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Email Content Injection (Mail Relay / Phishing) via 'emailBody' and 'emailSubject' Parameters

Affected versions: *-6.0.11

Vulnerability type: CWE-862 Missing Authorization

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.11. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send arbitrary HTML-injected emails — including phishing messages embedding a real, valid WordPress password-reset URL for the targeted user — to any registered user via the site's own mail server, abusing its SPF/DKIM reputation. The attacker-controlled emailSubject parameter is passed to wp_mail() with only sanitize_text_field() applied, while emailBody 'text' items are concatenated raw into the HTML email body with no escaping, and 'chip' items can include the genuine WordPress password-reset link for the targeted account.
