8.8 HIGH

Network-reachable WordPress endpoint with low attack complexity, but description requires Contributor authentication so PR:L (not PR:N); successful POP chain typically yields full C/I/A impact.

Contributor PHP Object Injection in Fusion Builder <= 3.15.4 versions.

AnalysisAI

PHP Object Injection in the ThemeFusion Fusion Builder WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 3.15.4) allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access to inject crafted serialized PHP objects that are deserialized by the plugin. Successful exploitation can lead to property-oriented programming (POP) chain execution depending on classes loaded in the WordPress runtime, with potential outcomes ranging from arbitrary file operations to remote code execution. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain Contributor WordPress account
Delivery
Craft serialized PHP object with POP gadget
Exploit
Submit payload to vulnerable Fusion Builder endpoint
Execution
Plugin unserializes attacker object
Persist
Magic method triggers file write or command execution
Impact
Drop webshell and escalate to full site takeover

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid authenticated WordPress account with at least Contributor role on a site running Fusion Builder ≤ 3.15.4 (despite the input CVSS vector listing PR:N, the description explicitly says 'Contributor'). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The published CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) conflicts with the description, which explicitly scopes the bug to Contributor-level users; PR:N is therefore almost certainly wrong and the realistic base score is closer to High (~8.x) with PR:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or compromises a Contributor account on a WordPress site running Fusion Builder ≤ 3.15.4, then submits a crafted request to a vulnerable plugin endpoint containing a serialized PHP object payload chained through a POP gadget available in the loaded codebase. The plugin deserializes the payload, instantiating attacker-controlled objects that, via __wakeup/__destruct or similar magic methods, lead to file writes or command execution under the web-server user, giving the attacker a foothold to drop a webshell and pivot to full site takeover.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis in the provided data - consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/fusion-builder/vulnerability/wordpress-fusion-builder-plugin-3-15-4-php-object-injection-vulnerability) and the ThemeFusion changelog for a version newer than 3.15.4 and upgrade as soon as one is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
