CRITICAL 9.8

DescriptionCVE.org

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in themeton FLAP - Business WordPress Theme allows Object Injection. This issue affects FLAP - Business WordPress Theme: from n/a through 1.5.

AnalysisAI

PHP object injection in FLAP Business WordPress Theme versions through 1.5 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unsafe deserialization of user-supplied data. The CVSS 9.8 critical rating reflects network-based exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction, enabling full system compromise. While EPSS score of 0.14% suggests low immediate exploitation probability, the availability of technical details in the Patchstack database increases weaponization risk for WordPress installations running this theme.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability stems from CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data), a dangerous class where applications accept serialized PHP objects from untrusted sources without proper validation. In WordPress themes, this commonly occurs when user input passed via POST/GET parameters, cookies, or form data is processed through PHP's unserialize() function. The FLAP Business WordPress Theme processes untrusted serialized data, allowing attackers to craft malicious PHP objects that execute code during the deserialization process. Object injection vulnerabilities in PHP can leverage magic methods (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString) and existing application classes to achieve remote code execution, file manipulation, SQL injection, or authentication bypass. WordPress themes with this flaw are particularly dangerous because they run with the web server's privileges and can affect the entire WordPress installation, not just the theme itself.

RemediationAI

Upgrade FLAP Business WordPress Theme to version 1.6 or later if available through the Themeton vendor or ThemeForest/Envato marketplace. Consult the theme's official support channels or purchase dashboard for patch availability, as patch version is not independently confirmed from available data. If no patched version is released, implement these compensating controls with noted trade-offs: disable the FLAP theme entirely and switch to a maintained alternative (eliminates risk but requires site redesign); restrict wp-admin access to trusted IP addresses only via .htaccess or firewall rules (reduces attack surface but limits administrative flexibility); deploy a web application firewall with rules to detect unserialize() patterns in HTTP requests (adds defense layer but requires WAF expertise and may generate false positives). Monitor WordPress security logs for suspicious POST/GET parameter activity containing serialized PHP object patterns (a:, O:, s:). Reference the Patchstack advisory for specific affected code paths that may inform custom input validation patches.
