DescriptionCVE.org

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Liquid Web / StellarWP Advanced Post Manager advanced-post-manager allows Object Injection.This issue affects Advanced Post Manager: from n/a through 4.5.5.

AnalysisAI

Object injection in the WordPress plugin Advanced Post Manager (all releases through version 4.5.5) lets remote attackers push attacker-controlled serialized data into PHP's unserialize() routine, potentially instantiating arbitrary objects and, where a usable POP gadget chain exists, achieving code execution with full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. The NVD vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) treats the flaw as unauthenticated and network-reachable, whereas our independent assessment raises attack complexity to High because real-world impact hinges on a reachable gadget chain in the plugin, WordPress core or another active plugin; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV entry for this CVE.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires reaching the Advanced Post Manager input that deserializes attacker-controlled data via unserialize(); per the NVD vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is claimed, affecting all versions from the earliest through 4.5.5. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All provided signals point to high severity: the NVD CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, consistent with CWE-502 PHP Object Injection. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so the immediate priority is to deactivate and, if unused, delete the Advanced Post Manager plugin from all WordPress installations; if the plugin is business-critical, isolate the site behind authentication or IP allowlisting at the reverse proxy so the deserialization path cannot be reached by untrusted clients, accepting that this breaks public-facing functionality that relies on the plugin. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every WordPress instance running Advanced Post Manager at or below version 4.5.5, confirm which are internet-facing, and where the plugin is not business-essential deactivate and remove it immediately; where removal is not possible, restrict administrative and plugin-related endpoints to trusted IP ranges, apply virtual patching or WAF rules that block serialized object payloads targeting the plugin, and enable verbose logging and file-integrity monitoring on affected hosts. …
