Impact
The Cars4Rent theme contains a deserialization flaw that permits attackers to inject malicious objects. This CWE‑502 vulnerability can enable arbitrary code execution on the WordPress site, potentially compromising all data and services hosted on the server.
Affected Systems
Axiom Themes’ Cars4Rent theme is vulnerable for all releases up to and including version 1.4.2 – any deployment running 1.4.2 or an earlier version is affected; no lower bound is specified.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.8 labels the flaw as critical, yet the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low current exploitation probability. The flaw is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector involves injecting crafted serialized data via any input path processed by the theme (e.g., form fields or options), which could allow remote code execution.
