Description
The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.17 does not verify that a file upload is made against an existing form configured with a file-upload field, accepting uploads regardless of whether any such form exists, which allows unauthenticated users to upload files to the WordPress Media Library; the uploads are limited to WordPress's default-allowed MIME types, so this does not lead to code execution.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-11579 is a vulnerability in the Kali Forms WordPress plugin before version 2.4.17. It allows unauthenticated users to upload files to the WordPress Media Library without needing a valid form with a file-upload field. The plugin does not check if an upload request matches an existing form.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow attackers to upload unwanted files to your WordPress site, consuming storage and potentially exposing sensitive data. Files are publicly accessible for about 15 minutes before being automatically deleted.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability may lead to unauthorized file uploads, potentially violating GDPR or HIPAA if sensitive data is exposed. Uncontrolled uploads could result in non-compliance with data protection requirements.

Detection Guidance

Check if the Kali Forms plugin version is below 2.4.17. Look for unexpected file uploads in the WordPress Media Library, especially files uploaded without a valid form submission. Monitor for temporary files that appear and disappear after approximately 15 minutes.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Kali Forms plugin to version 2.4.17 or later immediately. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin until a patch is applied. Review Media Library uploads for suspicious files and remove any unauthorized uploads.
