Unauthenticated object injection via untrusted deserialization
Published Aug 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
PHP object injection in eMarket Design YouTube Showcase 3.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects via untrusted input. The plugin deserializes attacker-controlled data, but published records do not identify the affected parameter, endpoint, or function. Exploitation requires no authentication and a suitable POP chain from another installed plugin or theme; none exists in YouTube Showcase itself, while a present chain enables file deletion, sensitive-data retrieval, or code execution.

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.
