Contributor-level object injection via event-meta deserialization
Published Feb 12, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
PHP object injection in MagePeople Team WPEvently 4.1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject objects through event metadata. The mep_event_meta_save function deserializes attacker-controlled metadata instead of treating it as inert input. Contributor-level access is required, and file deletion, sensitive-data retrieval, or code execution additionally requires a usable POP chain.
