Descriptions

The Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.2 via deserialization of untrusted input from the vulnerable 'id' parameter in the 'auxin_template_control_importer' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers able to upload a separate PHAR payload as an image file to inject a PHP Object, though the action itself is available to subscribers. 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 Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme para WordPress son vulnerables a la inyección de objetos PHP en todas las versiones hasta la 2.15.2 incluida a través de la deserialización de entradas no confiables del parámetro vulnerable 'id' en la función 'auxin_template_control_importer'. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados puedan cargar un payload PHAR separado como un archivo de imagen para inyectar un objeto PHP, aunque la acción en sí está disponible para los suscriptores. 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.
