Descriptions

WordPress is an open publishing platform for the Web. Unserialization of instances of the `WP_HTML_Token` class allows for code execution via its `__destruct()` magic method. This issue was fixed in WordPress 6.4.2 on December 6th, 2023. Versions prior to 6.4.0 are not affected.

WordPress es una plataforma de publicación abierta para la Web. La deserialización de instancias de la clase `WP_HTML_Token` permite la ejecución de código a través de su método mágico `__destruct()`. Este problema se solucionó en WordPress 6.4.2 el 6 de diciembre de 2023. Las versiones anteriores a la 6.4.0 no se ven afectadas.

WordPress Core is vulnerable to remote code execution via a PHP gadget in version 6.4.0 and 6.4.1. This is due to there being a magic method __destruct in the WP_HTML_Token class. This makes it possible for attackers to achieve remote code execution when another deserialization/PHP Object Injection vulnerability is present on the site.
