WordPress · Smart Post Show · CVE-2026-3017
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Smart Post Show – Post Grid, Post Carousel & Slider, and List Category Posts versions prior to 3.0.13
**Description**
The plugin is susceptible to PHP Object Injection due to the deserialization of untrusted input within the `import shortcodes()` function. This allows authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access or higher to inject a PHP Object. This issue requires a POP chain (a sequence of gadgets used to achieve a specific goal during deserialization) to be present in another installed plugin or theme to have an impact. If such a chain exists, it could enable the deletion of arbitrary files, retrieval of sensitive data, or code execution.
**Recommendations**
Update to a version later than 3.0.12.
