Unauthenticated PHP object injection via AJAX metadata
Published Feb 11, 2026 · Updated Feb 11, 2026
PHP object injection in WP eCommerce 3.15.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject serialized objects through AJAX requests. The wpsc_update_customer_meta AJAX action accepts attacker-controlled _wpsc_cart.cart_items data that the plugin later unserializes. File deletion, sensitive-data retrieval, or code execution requires a suitable POP chain from another installed plugin or theme; WP eCommerce has no known chain.
