WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme < 2.17.6 - Subscriber+ PHP Object Injection

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection 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.
