Technical details

A Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) exists in the denishua WPJAM Basic plugin through version 7.0. The flaw allows for PHP Object Injection when the plugin improperly handles user-supplied input during deserialization. An attacker with at least Contributor-level privileges can exploit this to inject a PHP object, which, if a suitable POP (Property-Oriented Programming) chain is present on the server, can lead to remote code execution, SQL injection, or file system traversal. The issue is resolved in version 7.0.1.
