Administrator PHP object injection via imported file

Published Oct 25, 2022 · Updated May 9, 2025

PHP object injection in Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer before 1.5.7 allows remote authenticated users to inject objects via imported files. The import_woomail function passes the raw import parameter to PHP deserialization without validating the serialized object content. Administrator access is required, and file deletion, sensitive-data access, or code execution also requires a suitable gadget chain from another installed plugin or theme.
