Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in LuxeDrive <= 1.4 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the Mikado-Themes LuxeDrive WordPress theme through version 1.4 allows remote attackers to deliver crafted serialized payloads that, when combined with a suitable POP gadget chain, can lead to remote code execution, data tampering, or service disruption on the underlying WordPress site. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS attack complexity is High because successful exploitation typically depends on the presence of a usable gadget chain in WordPress core, other plugins, or themes installed alongside LuxeDrive. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify WordPress site running LuxeDrive ≤1.4
Delivery
Craft serialized PHP object with gadget chain
Exploit
Send unauthenticated HTTP request to vulnerable theme endpoint
Execution
Trigger unserialize() and magic method invocation
Persist
Execute code as web server user
Impact
Deploy webshell or exfiltrate data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires sending HTTP requests to a WordPress installation that has the Mikado-Themes LuxeDrive theme active at version 1.4 or earlier and that reaches the vulnerable unserialize() sink in the theme code; no WordPress user account or interaction is needed (PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed: CVSS 3.1 is 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) with High impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, reflecting that an unauthenticated network attacker who succeeds gains full compromise of the WordPress site, but AC:H acknowledges the dependency on a viable gadget chain and reachable injection sink. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker identifies a WordPress site running LuxeDrive ≤ 1.4 and sends an unauthenticated HTTP request to a theme endpoint or parameter that ends up in unserialize(), supplying a crafted serialized object that triggers a POP gadget chain present in WordPress core or another installed plugin. The chain executes during deserialization to write a PHP webshell into the uploads directory or invoke wp_remote_post for further actions, giving the attacker code execution as the web server user; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so weaponization would require gadget-chain development against the specific site's plugin stack.
Remediation Upstream fix availability is not independently confirmed from the supplied data; the Patchstack entry should be consulted at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/luxedrive/vulnerability/wordpress-luxedrive-theme-1-4-php-object-injection-vulnerability for the latest fixed-version guidance, and administrators should upgrade LuxeDrive to any vendor-released version above 1.4 once Mikado-Themes publishes a patched build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Identify all WordPress instances using Mikado-Themes LuxeDrive version 1.4 and below; disable the theme on all non-production sites; establish log monitoring for suspicious POST requests and PHP serialization patterns to theme directories. …
