Unauthenticated code execution via company-name deserialization
Published Oct 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
PHP object injection in StellarWP GiveWP 3.16.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted donation request. The option-based donation handler deserializes the untrusted give_company_name parameter without rejecting serialized PHP objects. Unauthenticated access to a published donation form is sufficient, and an available POP chain turns object injection into arbitrary code execution in the WordPress server context.

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.
