WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

OptionTree <= 2.7.3 - Authenticated (Editor+) PHP Object Injection

Description

The OptionTree plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.3. This is due to deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, 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.
