The Kirki WordPress plugin prior to version 6.0.13 contains a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) due to improper sanitization and escaping of a value taken from the request before it is used in a SQL statement. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code, potentially compromising the confidentiality of the database. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6 (high severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability. There is no vendor advisory or patch information currently available to confirm remediation status.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform SQL injection attacks against the Kirki plugin's database queries. This may result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the database. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability according to the CVSS vector. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling the Kirki plugin or restricting access to vulnerable endpoints to mitigate risk. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted users or public access where possible.
