Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in EmallShop <= 2.4.21 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the EmallShop WordPress theme (versions <= 2.4.21) allows remote attackers to inject crafted serialized PHP objects that are deserialized by the application, potentially leading to remote code execution, data tampering, or denial of service when a suitable gadget chain is present. The flaw was disclosed by Patchstack (EUVD-2026-37470) and carries CVSS 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) - no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not listed in CISA KEV.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires (1) the target site to be running the EmallShop theme at version 2.4.21 or earlier, (2) network reachability to the vulnerable PHP endpoint (no authentication needed per PR:N), and (3) the presence of a usable POP gadget chain in another installed plugin, theme, or PHP/WordPress core class - this last requirement is what drives the CVSS AC:H rating, because raw object injection without a chain only yields limited impact. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, tempered by High attack complexity - typically because a usable gadget chain must already be present in the victim site's plugin/theme stack. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a serialized PHP object payload aligned with a gadget chain present in the target WordPress site's plugin stack and submits it to an EmallShop endpoint that accepts user-controlled input passed to unserialize(); upon deserialization, magic methods fire and execute the chain to write a PHP webshell, exfiltrate database credentials from wp-config.php, or pivot to administrative account takeover. No public exploit code is identified at the time of analysis, but Patchstack-disclosed object-injection issues are commonly weaponized by security researchers and opportunistic actors shortly after disclosure. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory does not specify a fixed version, so administrators should monitor the EmallShop changelog at PressLayouts/ThemeForest and apply the next release above 2.4.21 as soon as it is published (consult https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/emallshop/vulnerability/wordpress-emallshop-theme-2-4-21-php-object-injection-vulnerability for updates). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
