What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.6. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to view all Kirki frontend forms and read stored visitor form submission data, including contact details, messages, and any other visitor-provided information submitted through site forms.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
Kirki Page Builder versions up to 6.0.6 lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users with low privileges to read sensitive data they should not access. An attacker with a basic user account can retrieve confidential information through the plugin's API or admin functions without additional restrictions. Update to a version newer than 6.0.6 to resolve this issue.
