Unauthenticated object injection via unsafe PHP deserialization
Published Mar 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
PHP object injection in WP Migrate and WP Migrate Lite 2.6.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects via serialized data. Configuration loading, database find-and-replace, and the bundled queue library deserialize data without sufficiently restricting permitted classes, instantiating attacker-selected objects. Exploitation requires a reachable WordPress site and a usable POP chain from installed code; that chain can delete files, read sensitive data, or execute code.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
