Impact

The vulnerability is a PHP Object Injection flaw caused by insecure deserialization of untrusted data in the Pdfcrowd Dev Team "Save as PDF" plugin up to version 4.4.0. Exploitation of this fault allows an attacker to inject malicious objects that can execute arbitrary code on the hosting server, thereby compromising both confidentiality and integrity of site data.

Affected Systems

Vulnerable products are the Pdfcrowd Dev Team "Save as PDF" WordPress plugin listed through version 4.4.0. Any WordPress installation using this plugin without a newer release is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 marks the issue as critical, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low current exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not catalogued in CISA’s KEV.
