Object injection via deserialized compare-products cookie
Published Aug 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
PHP object injection in BdThemes Ultimate Store Kit 1.6.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects through a crafted cookie. The compare-products handler in includes/helper.php passes the client-controlled _ultimate_store_kit_compare_products cookie to PHP deserialization, permitting object instantiation. Exploitation requires no authentication, but destructive file, data, or code effects require a usable POP chain supplied by another installed plugin or theme.
