PHP object injection via undisclosed deserialization flaw

Published May 23, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

PHP object injection in BoldThemes Avantage 2.4.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects via unspecified vectors. Patchstack identifies deserialization of untrusted data but has not disclosed the affected function, input, or deserialization operation. The request is unauthenticated, while code execution, file access, database changes, or service interruption requires a usable POP chain.
