## Technical details

A PHP Object Injection vulnerability exists in the Elated-Themes Töbel theme (versions up to 1.8.1) due to the insecure deserialization of user-supplied data (CWE-502). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by submitting malicious input that the application passes to a PHP unserialize() function. If a suitable Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present within the environment, this can lead to various high-impact attacks including remote code execution, SQL injection, or arbitrary file deletion. The vulnerability is mitigated in version 1.9.
