Descriptions

The Geo Controller WordPress plugin before 8.6.5 unserializes user input via some of its AJAX actions and REST API routes, which could allow unauthenticated users to perform PHP Object Injection when a suitable gadget is present on the blog.

El complemento Geo Controller WordPress anterior a 8.6.5 deserializa la entrada del usuario a través de algunas de sus acciones AJAX y rutas API REST, lo que podría permitir a usuarios no autenticados realizar inyección de objetos PHP cuando hay un gadget adecuado presente en el blog.

The Geo Controller plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.4 via deserialization of untrusted input supplied via the '/cache/shortcode' REST API route. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. 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. CVE-2024-30227 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
