Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Esmée <= 1.4 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the Mikado Themes 'Esmée' WordPress theme (versions through 1.4) allows remote attackers to inject crafted serialized objects that are processed by unsafe deserialization. Exploitation depends on the presence of usable PHP gadget chains (often from WordPress core or co-installed plugins/themes), and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but successful attacks can lead to file write, SQL manipulation, or remote code execution on the underlying site. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target must be running the Mikado-Themes 'Esmée' WordPress theme at version 1.4 or earlier with a network-reachable endpoint that deserializes attacker-controlled input via PHP unserialize(); no WordPress authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is required (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a remotely reachable, unauthenticated sink with full CIA impact, but the High attack complexity flag signals that successful exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's direct control - almost certainly the presence of a usable PHP gadget chain in the victim environment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP request to a public Esmée theme endpoint with a crafted serialized PHP object in a parameter, cookie, or form field that the theme passes to unserialize(). When PHP instantiates the object, a gadget chain assembled from WordPress core or other installed components fires via magic methods, leading to arbitrary file write or code execution and full site compromise. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the advisory only specifies affected versions ≤ 1.4 with no fixed version listed in the provided data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all WordPress installations running 'Esmée' theme versions 1.4 and earlier; restrict public access to affected sites if operationally feasible. …
