Technical details

The PressMart theme for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via the deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502). This occurs because the application fails to properly validate user-supplied input before passing it to a PHP deserialization function. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted payload to the server. If a suitable Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present within the environment, the attacker could achieve remote code execution, perform SQL injection, or access sensitive files. The vulnerability is patched in version 1.2.27.
