CVE-2024-2694Network attack vector

Authenticated object injection via post meta deserialization

Published Aug 30, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

PHP object injection in Muffin Group BeTheme 27.5.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject objects through post metadata. The theme deserializes the untrusted mfn-page-items post meta value without validating the serialized object type. Contributor-level access is required; BeTheme supplies no known POP chain, but a chain from another installed component enables file deletion, data retrieval, or code execution.
