Summary

The Kirki WordPress plugin before version 6.0.12 does not perform any authorization check on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to overwrite the content of arbitrary existing comments and to create pre-approved comments under a spoofed identity, bypassing comment moderation.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the ability to manipulate comment content and publish unwanted content without authorization, potentially leading to data integrity breaches, fraud, or social engineering attacks on site users.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Kirki plugin to version 6.0.12 or later, which includes a fix for the missing authorization on the REST route.
