Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in FundEngine <= 1.7.9 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the Roxnor FundEngine (wp-fundraising-donation) WordPress plugin through version 1.7.9 lets remote attackers pass attacker-controlled serialized data into a PHP unserialize() sink without authentication. If a suitable POP gadget chain is present in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed plugin, this can escalate to arbitrary code execution, file operations, or SQL manipulation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify site running FundEngine <= 1.7.9
Delivery
Send crafted serialized PHP object in request
Exploit
Trigger unserialize() in plugin
Execution
Instantiate gadget chain objects
Impact
Execute code or manipulate data as web user

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that untrusted input reach the plugin's deserialization sink, which per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) needs no authentication, no user interaction, and only network access to a site running FundEngine <= 1.7.9 - so any internet-facing WordPress install with the plugin active is reachable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - the maximal profile for a WordPress plugin flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a FundEngine plugin endpoint with a serialized PHP object string embedded in a parameter the plugin later deserializes. When the plugin calls unserialize(), a gadget chain in the WordPress stack executes, allowing the attacker to read or write files, run code, or corrupt data. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data; the fix version is not stated in the Patchstack advisory reference supplied. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all WordPress installations to identify and inventory the Roxnor FundEngine plugin and assess whether any instances are internet-facing or process sensitive donor data. …
