High CVSS 8.6
CVE-2026-12721
NVD analysis in progress
The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13 does not properly sanitise and escape a value taken from the request before using it in a SQL statement, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- Unescaped input is placed into an SQL query, letting the attacker read or alter the database (SQL injection).
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
