Received Received - Intake
Remote Code Execution in Kali Forms WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-03-20

Last updated on: 2026-03-20

Assigner: Wordfence

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.

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability in all versions up to and including 2.4.9 that allows Remote Code Execution (RCE). This happens because the 'prepare_post_data' function maps user-supplied keys directly into internal placeholder storage, and then the 'call_user_func' function is used on these placeholders. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server.
