What is CVE-2026-12721?

The Kirki WordPress plugin prior to version 6.0.13 fails to adequately sanitize and escape user input before incorporating it into SQL statements. This oversight exposes the plugin to SQL injection attacks, which allow unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and a compromise of the website's integrity.

Affected Version(s)

Kirki 0 < 6.0.13

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
