Authenticated object injection via imported URL deserialization
Published Mar 20, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
PHP object injection in Sygnoos Social Media Share Buttons 2.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter site data via imports. The importButtons method reads attachmentUrl from the import_buttons AJAX action, fetches that caller-controlled URL with file_get_contents, and passes the returned bytes directly to unserialize. Any authenticated WordPress account can reach the action; object-instantiation consequences depend on a usable gadget chain in the site's loaded PHP code.
