CVE-2026-82814 Details
Description
The Duplicator and Duplicator Pro plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.17 and 4.6.10, respectively, via deserialization of untrusted database content in DUPX_UpdateEngine::unserializeTest() during migration. This allows unauthenticated attackers to store a serialized object in public site content before an administrator builds a package and later performs a migration or import that runs database search-and-replace. Duplicator Free bundles a Requests 1.7 POP chain that permits attacker-selected callbacks, resulting in direct operating-system command execution. Duplicator Pro bundles an IndexList destructor gadget that permits deletion of an attacker-selected existing file when its containing directory is writable by the installer PHP process; deletion of wp-config.php can expose the setup wizard and lead to site takeover and code execution if the attacker reaches it first and supplies a reachable database they control. The package must be created after the carrier is stored, and a later administrator migration action is required.
A PHP Object Injection vulnerability has been identified in the Duplicator and Duplicator Pro plugins for WordPress, affecting all versions prior to 1.5.17 for Duplicator Lite and 4.6.10 for Duplicator Pro. The vulnerability arises from the deserialization of untrusted database content during migration, specifically in the DUPX_UpdateEngine::unserializeTest() method. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to inject a serialized object into public site content, which can later be exploited when an administrator performs a migration or import that includes a database search-and-replace operation. Duplicator Free incorporates a Requests 1.7 PHP Object Injection chain that allows for attacker-controlled callbacks, leading to execution of operating system commands. Meanwhile, Duplicator Pro includes a gadget that can delete a specified file, such as wp-config.php, under certain conditions, potentially allowing for site takeover and code execution.
Users are advised to update to Duplicator version 5.0.0 or later, or Duplicator Pro version 5.0.0.
