WordPress · Uncanny Automator · CVE-2025-3623
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Uncanny Automator versions up to, and including, 6.4.0.1
Description:
The Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via deserialization of untrusted input in the `automator api decode message()` function. This allows authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. The presence of a POP chain also enables attackers to delete arbitrary files.
Recommendations:
For versions up to, and including, 6.4.0.1, update to a version later than 6.4.0.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `automator api decode message()` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `automator api decode message()` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
