CVE-2026-8206: Themeum Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions 6.0.0 to 6.0.6. This is due to the plugin accepting an arbitrary email address when a username is used in the password reset request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send a password reset link for any user registered on the site to their own email address.
