Unauthenticated PHP object injection via unsafe deserialization
Published Nov 20, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
PHP object injection in the Clone plugin for WordPress 2.4.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects through crafted serialized data. The recursive_unserialized_replace function passes attacker-controlled strings to PHP unserialize() without disabling object instantiation. Exploitation requires an administrator to run search-and-replace and a separate plugin or theme to provide a usable POP chain; resulting gadget execution can read data, delete files, or execute code.
