Object injection via forged administrator requests
Published Aug 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in iThemes ServerBuddy by PluginBuddy.com 1.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject PHP objects. The CNA record and sole advisory do not disclose the affected request handler or the operation that processes attacker-controlled serialized data. Exploitation requires a higher-privileged WordPress user to submit a forged request while authenticated, enabling attacker-selected PHP objects to enter the site's runtime.
