Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated session with at least low-privilege access (CVSS PR:L) to a WordPress site running the SureCart plugin version n/a through 4.9.3; on commerce sites that allow customer self-registration, such an account is often obtainable by any visitor. The attacker must reach the SureCart code path that deserializes untrusted input and, for full code execution, a usable PHP gadget chain must exist in the plugin or loaded dependencies. Limiting factors: no unauthenticated access (PR:L, not PR:N), dependence on the specific vulnerable deserialization endpoint, and reliance on an available gadget chain for the highest-impact outcomes; no user interaction is required (UI:N).

Impact

CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, indicating a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, with High impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with PHP Object Injection (CWE-502), which commonly escalates to remote code execution when a suitable gadget chain is present. No EPSS score was provided in the input, and there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit referenced, so exploitation is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The only intelligence source is a single Patchstack advisory (Patchstack is the CNA/reporter), which is a reliable source for WordPress plugin vulnerabilities but means this is effectively single-sourced. The practical risk is moderated by the PR:L requirement: an attacker must first obtain at least a low-privilege authenticated account (e.g., a subscriber/customer account, which SureCart stores often permit via self-registration on commerce sites) before the object injection is reachable. This is a credible priority for any site running the affected SureCart versions given the H/H/H impact and low complexity, but it is not confirmed as actively exploited; prioritize patching but treat 'widespread active exploitation' claims as unverified. No signals are internally conflicting (CVSS network vector matches the WordPress plugin HTTP attack surface); the main gap is the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC data rather than contradiction.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privilege authenticated account on a WordPress site running SureCart ≤ 4.9.3 submits crafted input to a plugin endpoint that deserializes untrusted data, injecting a malicious PHP object. If a usable gadget chain exists in the plugin or a loaded dependency, this can lead to arbitrary file operations or code execution. No public proof-of-concept exploit was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

PHP object injection in the Brainstorm Force SureCart WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.9.3) lets a low-privilege authenticated attacker supply untrusted serialized data that the plugin deserializes, enabling arbitrary object instantiation and, where a usable gadget chain exists in the plugin or its dependencies, escalation to code execution or full site compromise. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N and High confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and no user interaction is required; exploitation still depends on reaching the specific vulnerable deserialization endpoint and on the presence of a suitable gadget chain. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the CVE is not confirmed as actively exploited (CISA KEV).

RemediationAI

The supplied intelligence does not include a fixed version, so begin by checking the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/surecart/vulnerability/wordpress-surecart-plugin-4-9-3-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and the Brainstorm Force release notes for a patched SureCart release; if one is published, upgrade immediately and verify the installed version is no longer within the affected range through 4.9.3. If no patched release is available, deactivating the SureCart plugin until a fix ships eliminates the exposure (side effect: store, checkout, and subscription functionality stops working). Because the exploit requires only a low-privilege authenticated account, restricting or disabling open customer self-registration, or requiring administrator approval for new accounts, materially raises the bar for PR:L exploitation (side effect: slower customer onboarding). Additionally, audit and minimize existing low-privilege accounts, apply a WAF rule that inspects SureCart endpoints for serialized object payloads, and monitor for unexpected PHP object instantiation or file writes in the WordPress uploads and plugins directories to detect exploitation attempts, since successful impact ultimately depends on a reachable deserialization path and an available gadget chain.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) in the SureCart WordPress ecommerce plugin from Brainstorm Force. The plugin passes attacker-influenced input to PHP deserialization (unserialize or an equivalent construct) without adequate validation of allowed classes, so a crafted serialized payload causes PHP to instantiate arbitrary classes present in the plugin and its loaded dependencies and to invoke magic methods such as __wakeup(), __destruct(), or __toString(). If a gadget chain reaching a dangerous sink (file write, call_user_func, eval, database operations) is available, this becomes remote code execution or another high-impact effect; otherwise it typically results in object injection with variable impact. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:brainstorm_force:surecart with a wildcard version confirms the affected component is the SureCart plugin across all releases up to and including 4.9.3. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N indicates the attack is network-reachable and low-complexity but requires an authenticated session with only low privileges, and no user interaction; on stores that permit customer self-registration, such an account is often obtainable by any visitor, which sharply lowers the practical barrier to exploitation.

DescriptionCVE.org

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Brainstorm Force SureCart surecart allows Object Injection.This issue affects SureCart: from n/a through 4.9.3.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using the Brainstorm Force SureCart WordPress plugin versions through 4.9.3 face a high-severity vulnerability that could allow a low-privilege authenticated user to compromise an e-commerce site, leading to unauthorized data access, site takeover, or disruption of online sales. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis and no public exploit identified at time of analysis exist, but the potential for full site compromise means leadership should prioritize immediate inventory and mitigation. Affected parties include site owners, customers whose data may be exposed, and business operations reliant on the WordPress storefront.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling or removing the Brainstorm Force SureCart WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.9.3) if not essential; if the plugin must remain active, restrict access to trusted authenticated users, enforce least privilege, deploy WAF rules to block PHP object injection and deserialization attempts against SureCart endpoints, enable detailed logging and monitoring for suspicious serialized payloads or unexpected object instantiation, and isolate affected WordPress instances from sensitive internal systems until a vendor patch is available.
