Unauthenticated object injection via untrusted deserialization
Published Nov 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
PHP object injection in Anthony Carbon WDES Responsive Mobile Menu 5.3.18 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject PHP objects. The CNA and Patchstack identify deserialization of untrusted input, but neither discloses the affected function, request parameter, or request path. Authentication and user interaction are not required; file deletion, sensitive-data retrieval, or code execution requires a usable POP chain from another installed plugin or theme.
