DescriptionCVE.org

The Clearfy Cache WordPress plugin before 2.4.3 does not restrict the classes allowed when unserializing settings-import data, allowing users with administrator access to perform PHP Object Injection attacks, which may lead to remote code execution when a suitable gadget chain is present in the environment.

AnalysisAI

PHP Object Injection in Clearfy Cache WordPress plugin (versions before 2.4.3) exposes administrator-authenticated users to potential remote code execution through unrestricted deserialization during settings import. The plugin's import handler passes attacker-controlled serialized data to PHP's unserialize() without class whitelisting, enabling object injection. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Compromise WordPress admin credentials
Delivery
Authenticate to WordPress admin panel
Exploit
Upload crafted serialized PHP payload via Clearfy Cache settings import
Execution
Trigger unrestricted unserialize() call
Persist
Invoke gadget chain magic methods across installed PHP classes
Impact
Execute arbitrary code on web server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation WordPress administrator-level authentication is required (confirmed by CVSS PR:H). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS score of 4.1 (Medium) accurately reflects the dual constraints of PR:H (WordPress administrator access required) and AC:H (gadget chain dependency). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained WordPress administrator credentials - through credential stuffing, phishing, or insider access - navigates to the Clearfy Cache settings panel and uses the import feature to upload a crafted serialized PHP payload. If the target WordPress installation includes a plugin or library providing a viable gadget chain (common in environments with Composer-managed dependencies or popular plugins), deserialization triggers a chain of PHP magic method calls resulting in arbitrary OS command execution under the web server's user account. …
Remediation Upgrade Clearfy Cache to version 2.4.3 or later, which restricts the classes allowed during settings-import deserialization; the vendor patch is confirmed available per WPScan (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/3daf62cd-eefe-49ec-89f7-b13f88111853/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
