CVE-2026-40739

WordPress LuxeDrive theme <= 1.4 - PHP Object Injection vulnerability

Published Jun 16, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in LuxeDrive <= 1.4 versions.

Analysis

Technical impact

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the LuxeDrive theme up to version 1.4 enables attackers to insert crafted serialized data that becomes parsed by the theme, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution or other malicious actions that compromise the WordPress installation’s confidentiality, integrity, or availability. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑502, indicating deserialization of untrusted data without adequate validation.

Affected Systems

Mikado‑Themes’ WordPress LuxeDrive theme versions 1.4 and earlier. Any WordPress site that has not upgraded beyond version 1.4 is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.1 the vulnerability is rated high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, suggesting that, while the technical risk is significant, the probability that attackers will exploit this flaw in the wild is low at present. The issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Because the attack does not require authentication, the likely attack vector is an unauthenticated HTTP request carrying a maliciously crafted serialized payload, which the theme processes during routine operations.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress LuxeDrive Theme to the latest available version (at least 1.5).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Update the LuxeDrive theme to version 1.5 or later, which removes the vulnerable deserialization logic.
Audit any custom theme code to eliminate the use of PHP’s unserialize() or other deserialization routines on data that could be supplied by untrusted users.
Restrict or secure any endpoints that accept serialized data by validating the source and structure before deserialization.
