Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Léonie <= 1.2.1 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Léonie WordPress theme (versions ≤ 1.2.1) by Elated Themes allows remote attackers to deserialize attacker-controlled data, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution, file manipulation, or full site compromise when a suitable POP gadget chain exists in the WordPress stack. Reported by Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2026-37490, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis but a high CVSS score of 8.1 reflecting the severity of unauthenticated deserialization. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the Léonie WordPress theme version 1.2.1 or earlier to be installed and active on a reachable WordPress site, with the attacker able to send HTTP(S) requests to the vulnerable theme endpoint that passes input into unserialize(). … 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, score 8.1) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with no user interaction but high attack complexity - the AC:H likely reflects the need to identify a usable POP gadget chain within the target's WordPress stack. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker identifies a WordPress site running the Léonie theme and crafts a malicious serialized PHP payload combining a class from WordPress core or a bundled plugin into a POP gadget chain. The attacker submits this payload over HTTP/HTTPS to the vulnerable theme parameter; upon unserialize(), the chain triggers arbitrary file writes or PHP code execution, granting the attacker a webshell and full site control. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data; defenders should consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/lonie/vulnerability/wordpress-leonie-theme-1-2-1-php-object-injection-vulnerability for the fixed release once published by Elated Themes, and upgrade to any version above 1.2.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Audit all WordPress installations to identify instances of Léonie theme version 1.2.1 or earlier and assess available POP gadget chains in installed plugins. …
