WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
EWWW Image Optimizer 8.6.0 - 8.7.7 - Author+ PHP Object Injection via 'eio_page_settings' Post Meta
Description
The plugin does not prevent authenticated users with author-level permissions from storing a serialized value in a post meta field that is deserialized when the post is rendered, allowing them to perform PHP Object Injection, which can lead to remote code execution when a suitable gadget chain is present via another installed plugin or theme.
