Description
The Kalles Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Kalles Addons plugin for WordPress allows an attacker to send data that is deserialized without validation. This vulnerability is unauthenticated and enables the creation of arbitrary PHP objects. No exploitation chain exists inside the plugin itself, so the flaw alone cannot execute code. However, if the target site contains another plugin or theme that implements a PHP Object Injection (POP) chain, the attacker could leverage this flaw to instantiate dangerous objects and then exploit the POP chain. Through such a chain an attacker could delete files, read sensitive data, or run arbitrary code on the server.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation that has the Kalles Addons plugin version 1.0.6 or older installed is affected. The plugin is distributed under the unknown:Kalles Addons vendor identifier and is available from the WordPress plugin repository.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1, indicating a high severity risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the plugin does not contain a Standalone POP chain, exploitation requires that the target site also hosts another plugin or theme that contains a compatible POP chain. If such a chain is present, the attacker can achieve code execution or other destructive actions. If no POP chain exists, the flaw has no direct impact.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Kalles Addons plugin to the latest available version (1.0.7 or newer).
  • If the plugin is not essential, uninstall it from the WordPress site.
  • Audit all installed plugins and themes for known PHP Object Injection or POP chain vulnerabilities and upgrade or replace them accordingly.
