Kirki <= 6.2.5 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) PHP Object Injection to Administrator Account Takeover via 'get-single-symbol' AJAX Endpoint

Published Oct 27, 2026 · Updated Oct 29, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Kirki plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.5 via deserialization of untrusted input through the 'get-single-symbol' branch of the kirki_post_apis() AJAX dispatcher due to a missing capability check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain allows attackers to overwrite an administrator's password and gain administrative access.
