Technical details
The Werkstatt theme for WordPress (versions up to and including 4.8.3) is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection due to the deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502). An attacker with Contributor-level privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject PHP objects. If a suitable Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present in the environment, this can lead to remote code execution, SQL injection, or path traversal. The attack is reachable over the network and does not require user interaction, though it does require valid low-level authentication. No official patch has been released by the vendor at the time of reporting.
