CVE-2026-12472

An authorization flaw in Kirki plugin versions up to 6.0.11 allows unauthorized users to send malicious emails from a WordPress site's mail server. This is due to inadequate verification of user permissions, enabling attackers to craft phishing messages with embedded valid password reset links. The vulnerability stems from the plugin's failure to properly sanitize email content and subject lines.
