The Kirki plugin for WordPress, prior to version 6.2.5, is affected. A flaw in its reCAPTCHA check lets anyone submit website forms without passing the verification, enabling unlimited spam submissions that can trigger notification emails, webhooks, and database writes.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Themeum Kirki: fixed in 6.2.5

## Description

Kirki plugin for WordPress before 6.2.5 contains a reCAPTCHA bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to submit frontend forms without valid verification by omitting the g-recaptcha-token field from POST requests to the form submission endpoint. Attackers can exploit the verify() method's early return on empty token values to submit unlimited forms, triggering notification emails, webhooks, and unbounded writes to the submissions table without completing reCAPTCHA validation.

## What to do
