Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Unknown Kirki 6.0.14.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Unknown Kirki 6.0.14 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.14 does not perform a capability check on some endpoints of one of its public AJAX actions, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the email addresses of registered users and comment authors, as well as non-public page content and settings.
