Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in A.Williams <= 1.3.1 versions.

AnalysisAI

PHP Object Injection in the A.Williams (Alisha Williams) WordPress theme by AxiomThemes affects all versions up to and including 1.3.1, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to inject crafted serialized PHP objects into an unsafe deserialization sink. When a suitable POP gadget chain is present in the theme or co-installed plugins, this can escalate to arbitrary file operations, SQL injection, or remote code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), exploitation is unauthenticated and requires no user interaction against the A.Williams theme ≤1.3.1. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8 Critical) portrays a trivially exploitable, unauthenticated network attack with full impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a public endpoint of a WordPress site running the A.Williams theme ≤1.3.1, embedding a serialized PHP object in a parameter that reaches unserialize(). If a POP gadget chain exists in the theme, core, or an active plugin, the object triggers magic-method logic that leads to file writes, SQL injection, or code execution under the web server account. …
Remediation No fixed version is stated in the available data, so no vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis - the vulnerability covers all releases through 1.3.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all instances of the A.Williams theme deployed across your WordPress infrastructure and verify which versions are in use; simultaneously audit installed plugins for known POP gadget chains that could enable escalation to remote code execution. …
