| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
String Locator plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.6.6
Description
The String Locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection due to the deserialization of untrusted input in the
recursive unserialize replace function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme, it could enable the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code. An administrator must perform a search and replace action to trigger the exploit.Recommendations
For versions up to 2.6.6, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
recursive unserialize replace function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Deserialization of Untrusted Data
