Answer in brief

Review the upstream advisory, identify the affected product in your inventory, and apply the vendor update when one is available.
Path Traversal describes the vulnerability class recorded for this advisory. The current record does not mark CVE-2026-15601 as known exploited; continue to monitor the source for status changes. This is a product-level record in the current feed, not a package-level dependency mapping.
Affected software not mapped. Review the upstream record for vendor-specific product and version guidance.
The Kirki – Freeform Page Builder, Website Builder & Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal (Zip Slip) in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.13 via the extract_zip_file function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to write arbitrary files on the server, which can allow for remote code execution. The install_app, update_app, and get_kirki_template_from_zip code paths accept a user-supplied app src value to construct the download URL, and no sanitization is applied to prevent a crafted ZIP from being fetched and extracted with path-traversing entry names that escape the intended destination directory.
