MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a target running the LeadSnap WordPress plugin at version 1.25 or earlier, with the vulnerable code path reachable by an unauthenticated remote request (consistent with PR:N/UI:N). The specific endpoint, parameter, or feature that passes attacker input to unserialize() is not described in the available sources. A critical practical limiter not quantified in the input: realized impact beyond object instantiation (RCE/file/SQL effects) generally depends on a usable POP gadget chain being present in the plugin or co-installed components - the evidence does not confirm one exists, so the full C:H/I:H/A:H impact is a worst-case assumption rather than a verified outcome. |
| Impact | Signals are largely aligned toward high priority but rest on a single source. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, and the vuln.today decision label is act_now. However, several real-risk signals are absent from the input: there is no EPSS probability, no CISA KEV listing, and no confirmed public exploit code - the only reference is a Patchstack advisory page, not a working PoC. So the urgency is driven by severity rating and vendor triage rather than by observed exploitation. PHP Object Injection (CWE-502) is a genuinely dangerous class, but practical impact (RCE, arbitrary file operations, SQL injection, etc.) typically depends on a usable POP gadget chain being reachable in the plugin or co-installed code; the available evidence does not confirm which concrete impact is achievable, so the uniform C:H/I:H/A:H should be treated as a worst-case rating, not a demonstrated outcome. Net: following the act_now label this warrants prompt remediation, but the absence of EPSS/KEV/PoC data means confidence that it is being exploited at scale is low and should not be overstated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted request to a vulnerable LeadSnap endpoint containing an attacker-controlled serialized PHP object, which the plugin passes to unserialize() without authentication. If a suitable POP gadget chain is reachable in the plugin or the WordPress environment, this can escalate to code execution, file manipulation, or data compromise. No confirmed working public exploit was identified in the provided data; the only reference is a Patchstack advisory entry. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the LeadSnap WordPress plugin through version 1.25 can let a remote attacker reach a PHP unserialize() path with attacker-influenced data, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and CWE-502. The supplied CPE identifies the LeadSnap plugin, and the Patchstack advisory is the sole reference in the provided intelligence; no CISA KEV entry or public exploit code is reported, so no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The C:H/I:H/A:H rating is a worst-case assumption: effects beyond object instantiation depend on a usable POP gadget chain in the plugin or co-installed components, which the available evidence does not confirm.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch, fixed version, patch commit, or vendor workaround is identified in the provided sources; check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/leadsnap/vulnerability/wordpress-leadsnap-plugin-1-25-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for an updated fixed release and upgrade LeadSnap beyond 1.25 when one is published. Because the assessed vector is PR:N/UI:N, exposure is remote and unauthenticated; if the plugin cannot be updated immediately, the direct containment step is to deactivate and remove LeadSnap, or otherwise remove the vulnerable code path from reachable web exposure, accepting the loss of the plugin's functionality. These are operational containment measures, not vendor-documented fixes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
LeadSnap is a WordPress plugin, and CVE-2026-90888 is classified as CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data. PHP object injection occurs when untrusted input reaches unserialize(), allowing attacker-controlled serialized strings to instantiate objects and potentially invoke magic methods; the specific endpoint, parameter, or feature that passes attacker input to unserialize() is not described in the available sources. The supplied CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, no required privileges, and no user interaction, per the assessed vector. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:leadsnap:leadsnap:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the plugin as the affected product, while the Patchstack advisory scopes affected versions to 1.25 and earlier. Realized confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact beyond object instantiation depends on a usable POP gadget chain being present in the plugin or co-installed components; the provided data does not verify that such a chain exists, so the full C:H/I:H/A:H outcome is not confirmed.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in LeadSnap <= 1.25 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The LeadSnap WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.25) contains a critical unauthenticated PHP object injection vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected websites. Leadership should prioritize remediation for any public-facing WordPress sites running this plugin, as exploitation could lead to full site takeover and potential data breaches.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the LeadSnap plugin on internet-facing sites, deploying WAF rules to detect and block PHP object injection attempts, restricting access to wp-admin and REST endpoints, and closely monitoring logs for anomalous serialized data in requests.
