Subscriber-level form submission disclosure via unchecked AJAX action
Published May 19, 2026 · Updated May 19, 2026
Missing authorization in Themeum Kirki 6.0.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read stored visitor form submissions. The kirki_wp_admin_get_apis AJAX action returns frontend forms and their stored submissions without verifying that the requester has an authorized capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and exposure is limited to contact details, messages, and other visitor-provided form data.
