Summary

The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13 does not restrict which classes may be instantiated when it deserialises data that unauthenticated users can store, leading to PHP Object Injection triggered when an administrator later reviews the stored data. With a suitable gadget chain, this could lead to remote code execution.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can achieve remote code execution on the server, leading to full site compromise.

Recommendation

Update the Kirki plugin to version 6.0.13 or later, and ensure other plugins and WordPress are up to date.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13 does not restrict which classes may be instantiated when it deserialises data that unauthenticated users can store, leading to PHP Object Injection that is triggered when an administrator later reviews the stored data. With a suitable gadget chain present on the site (via another installed Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.0.13, , or an outdated WordPress version), this could be leveraged to perform a variety of attacks, such as remote code execution.
