Descriptions

The wpDataTables WordPress plugin before 2.1.66 does not validate the "Serialized PHP array" input data before deserializing the data. This allows admins to deserialize arbitrary data which may lead to remote code execution if a suitable gadget chain is present on the server. This is impactful in environments where admin users should not be allowed to execute arbitrary code, such as multisite.

El complemento de WordPress wpDataTables anterior a 2.1.66 no valida los datos de entrada de la "Serialized PHP array" antes de deserializar los datos. Esto permite a los administradores deserializar datos arbitrarios, lo que puede conducir a la ejecución remota de código si hay una cadena de dispositivos adecuada en el servidor. Esto tiene un impacto en entornos donde no se debe permitir que los usuarios administradores ejecuten código arbitrario, como multisitio.

The wpDataTables - Tables & Table Charts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.1.65 via deserialization of untrusted input in multiple functions. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator capabilities to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain may allow attackers to delete arbitrary files.
