Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in SingleMalt <= 1.5 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the SingleMalt WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.5) allows remote attackers to deserialize attacker-controlled data, which can lead to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected WordPress sites. The flaw is exploitable without authentication or user interaction but has high attack complexity per its CVSS vector, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify WordPress site running SingleMalt ≤ 1.5
Delivery
Send crafted serialized payload to vulnerable theme endpoint
Exploit
Trigger unserialize() on attacker data
Execution
Invoke POP gadget chain via magic methods
Persist
Achieve arbitrary file write or code execution
Impact
Deploy webshell and persist

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target WordPress installation has the SingleMalt theme (elated-themes) installed and active at version 1.5 or earlier, and that the attacker can reach the vulnerable HTTP endpoint exposed by the theme over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A remote attacker identifies a WordPress site running the SingleMalt theme at version 1.5 or earlier and locates an unauthenticated entry point in the theme that passes user input to unserialize(). The attacker crafts a serialized PHP object that, when deserialized, triggers a POP gadget chain through classes loaded by WordPress core or other installed plugins to achieve file write or arbitrary command execution, then uses that primitive to drop a webshell and take over the site.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided data - administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/singlemalt/vulnerability/wordpress-singlemalt-theme-1-5-php-object-injection-vulnerability) and the elated-themes vendor portal for an updated SingleMalt release above 1.5 and apply it as soon as published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all WordPress installations and identify those using SingleMalt theme versions 1.5 or earlier. …
