HIGH 8.1

DescriptionCVE.org

The Nexter Extension - Site Enhancements Toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.6 via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'nxt_unserialize_replace' function. 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.

AnalysisAI

PHP object injection in the Nexter Extension plugin for WordPress (versions up to 4.4.6) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to deserialize untrusted data, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution, file deletion, or data theft if a compatible POP chain exists in other installed plugins or themes. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 8.1 but currently lacks a public exploit chain in the vulnerable software itself. …
