Until an official fix is available, consider disabling or removing the Kali Forms plugin if possible to mitigate risk. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply any official patches promptly once released.
Description
The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.9 via the 'form_process' function. This is due to the 'prepare_post_data' function mapping user-supplied keys directly into internal placeholder storage, combined with the use of 'call_user_func' on these placeholder values. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.
