## Technical details

A Blind SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the Themeum Kirki plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 6.0.12). The flaw stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input used within SQL commands. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted web requests to trigger boolean-based or time-based inference attacks against the database. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to extract sensitive information from the WordPress database. The issue is resolved in version 6.0.13.
