Descriptions

The Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme WordPress plugin before 2.10.7 unserializes the content of an imported file, which could lead to PHP object injection when a user imports (intentionally or not) a malicious file and a suitable gadget chain is present on the blog.

El complemento de WordPress Shortcodes and extra features para el tema Phlox anterior a 2.10.7 deserializa el contenido de un archivo importado, lo que podría provocar la inyección de objetos PHP cuando un usuario importa (intencionalmente o no) un archivo malicioso y una cadena de gadgets adecuada está presente en el Blog.

The 'Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme' plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.10.5 via deserialization of untrusted input in the auxin_customizer_export function. This allows attackers to inject a PHP Object. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
