Technical details

A PHP Object Injection vulnerability exists in the Roisin theme for WordPress in versions up to and including 1.4. The flaw stems from the deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502) without proper validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted input to the application. If a suitable Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain is present on the server, the attacker could achieve remote code execution, perform SQL injection, or access sensitive files. The vulnerability is addressed in version 1.5.
