Descriptions

The Essential Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 4.2.0 via deserialization of untrusted input in the get_products function. This allows unauthenticated 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.

El complemento Essential Blocks para WordPress es vulnerable a la inyección de objetos PHP en versiones hasta la 4.2.0 incluida a través de la deserialización de entradas que no son de confianza en la función get_products. Esto permite a atacantes no autenticados inyectar un objeto PHP. No hay ninguna cadena POP presente en el complemento vulnerable. Si hay una cadena POP presente a través de un complemento o tema adicional instalado en el sistema de destino, podría permitir al atacante eliminar archivos arbitrarios, recuperar datos confidenciales o ejecutar código.

WordPress Essential Blocks plugin versions 4.2.0 and below and Essential Blocks Pro versions 1.1.0 and below suffer from multiple PHP object injection vulnerabilities.
