CVE-2024-10936 Details
Description
The String locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.6 via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'recursive_unserialize_replace' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software. 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. An administrator must perform a search and replace action to trigger the exploit.
A PHP Object Injection vulnerability has been identified in the String Locator plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.6.6. The issue arises from the deserialization of untrusted input in the 'recursive_unserialize_replace' function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject PHP objects. While the vulnerable plugin version does not have a known payload execution chain, such a chain could potentially be exploited if an additional vulnerable plugin or theme is installed, leading to arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data exposure, or code execution. The vulnerability is triggered when an administrator performs a search and replace action.
Users are advised to update the String Locator WordPress plugin to version 2.6.7 or later.
