Is Kali Forms safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.30 does not perform a capability check when its test-email handler resolves and returns a user's email address, relying only on a nonce that is available to any logged-in user, allowing authenticated users with minimal privileges (Subscriber and above) to disclose the email address of any registered user, including administrators.

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.30 does not perform a capability check on its test-email handler, relying only on a nonce that is available to any logged-in user, so a low-privileged user such as a Subscriber can make the site send email to an arbitrary recipient with a spoofed sender address.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Kaliforms Kali Forms kali-forms allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Kali Forms: from n/a through 2.4.27.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Kaliforms Kali Forms kali-forms allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Kali Forms: from n/a through 2.4.27.

Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Kali Forms <= 2.4.23 versions.

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.20 via the _save_data function. This is due to insufficient validation of the 'thisPermalink' field value before it overwrites a trusted callable placeholder, allowing attacker-controlled strings to reach call_user_func() in _save_data(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Exploitation requires the target form to define a field with a name matching one of the reserved placeholder keys ('thisPermalink', 'entryCounter', or 'submission_link'), as check_if_placeholders_changed() only processes POST keys present in the form's field_type_map.

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Kali Forms <= 2.4.18 versions.

Subscriber Arbitrary File Deletion in Kali Forms <= 2.4.18 versions.

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'digitalSignature' Field Value in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.18 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The required form-submission nonce is publicly available on any page containing the form shortcode, making this exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers without any precondition beyond the form being published.

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.17 does not perform a per-object capability check in its post-duplication AJAX action, allowing users with Contributor-level access or above to duplicate any post (regardless of owner, post type, or status) into a published post they own and read its private post metadata, including secrets stored by other Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.17.

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.

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'meta[kaliforms_field_components]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.13 does not sanitise a form field's caption before outputting it as a column header on the administrator form-entries screen, allowing users with Contributor-level access or above to store JavaScript that executes in an administrator's session. A missing capability check in the Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.13's post-duplication action additionally lets the Contributor publish the malicious form so an administrator renders it.

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.

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.8. This is due to the `get_items_permissions_check()` permission callback on the `/kaliforms/v1/forms/{id}` REST API endpoint only checking for the `edit_posts` capability without verifying that the requesting user has ownership or authorization over the specific form resource. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read form configuration data belonging to other users (including administrators) by enumerating form IDs. Exposed data includes form field structures, Google reCAPTCHA secret keys (if configured), email notification templates, and server paths.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in WP Chill Kali Forms kali-forms allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Kali Forms: from n/a through <= 2.3.27.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in WP Chill Kali Forms kali-forms allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Kali Forms: from n/a through <= 2.3.28.

The Contact Form builder with drag & drop for WordPress – Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data via API due to an inconsistent capability check on several REST endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.41. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access and higher, to obtain access to or modify forms or entries.

The Contact Form builder with drag & drop for WordPress – Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin deactivation due to a missing capability check on the await_plugin_deactivation function in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.41. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access or higher, to deactivate any active plugins.

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in ali Forms Contact Form builder with drag & drop for WordPress – Kali Forms.This issue affects Contact Form builder with drag & drop for WordPress – Kali Forms: from n/a through 2.3.36.

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authenticated Options Change in versions up to, and including, 2.1.1. This is due to the update_option lacking proper authentication checks. This makes it possible for any authenticated attacker to change (or delete) the plugin's settings.

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.1.1. This is due to incorrect nonce handling throughout the plugin's function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access the plugin's administrative functions via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Post Deletion in versions up to, and including, 2.1.1. This is due to the kaliforms_form_delete_uploaded_file function lacking any privilege or user protections. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete any site post or page with the id parameter.
