CVE-2026-15601
The Kirki plugin, used for page building and customization in WordPress, has a Path Traversal vulnerability affecting all versions up to 6.0.13 due to inadequate sanitization of user-supplied input in functions like extract_zip_file. Authenticated users with custom-level access can exploit this by downloading and extracting malicious ZIP files that contain path-traversing entries, potentially leading to remote code execution on the server.
