Impact
The Vagabonds theme for WordPress contains a Deserialization of Untrusted Data flaw that allows attackers to perform PHP Object Injection. A crafted serialized payload can be handled by the theme’s deserialization routine, enabling the execution of arbitrary PHP code. This weakness is classified as CWE-502 and can lead to full compromise of the website, including data theft, modification, and availability disruption.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability impacts the Vagabonds theme developed by ThemeREX Group, affecting all versions from the initial release (n/a) through version 1.3.10. Any site using a vulnerable version is at risk.
Risk and Exploitability
The flaw carries a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a critical level of risk. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers can likely exploit the flaw by submitting a malicious serialized payload via any input that the theme processes—this might occur through HTTP requests or custom AJAX endpoints. While no authentication is explicitly required in the description, access to the vulnerable code path would typically be needed for exploitation.
