Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least low privileges (PR:L) on a site running GS Plugins 'WordPress Team Members' (gs-team-members) plugin version 2.8.2 or earlier; no user interaction is needed. The attacker must reach a plugin feature that deserializes attacker-controlled input via PHP unserialize(). Practical impact is further gated by the availability of a usable POP gadget chain within the plugin, WordPress core, or other installed plugins/themes - without such a chain, the object injection may not yield code execution. Limiting factors: the authentication requirement (sites that disallow untrusted user registration are substantially less exposed) and dependence on gadget availability for full compromise.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) and base score of 8.8 indicate a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-level authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with PHP Object Injection via CWE-502 insecure deserialization. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the supplied data, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'; this tempers the otherwise high score. A key caveat for object-injection flaws: real-world impact (and effective complexity) hinges on the presence of a usable POP gadget chain in the plugin or in other installed plugins/themes, which the available data does not confirm - so the 'C:H/I:H/A:H' rating represents worst-case potential rather than a demonstrated RCE. The PR:L requirement meaningfully limits risk, as the attacker must first hold at least a low-privilege authenticated account on the target WordPress site. Overall this is a credible medium-to-high priority for sites running the affected plugin, but not a mass-exploitation emergency absent KEV/EPSS/POC signals; prioritize patching where untrusted users can register.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged authenticated user (e.g., a subscriber or contributor) submits crafted input to a vulnerable endpoint of the GS Team Members plugin that is passed to PHP's unserialize(), injecting a malicious serialized object. If a suitable POP gadget chain exists in the WordPress installation, this is leveraged to achieve file operations, SQL injection, or remote code execution. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and exploitation requires authentication (PR:L) but no user interaction.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

PHP object injection in the GS Plugins WordPress Team Members plugin through version 2.8.2 lets an authenticated low-privilege user submit crafted serialized data to a plugin feature that invokes PHP unserialize(), enabling object injection that can lead to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact if a usable POP gadget chain exists. The issue is network-reachable, requires no user interaction, and is scored CVSS 3.1 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H); no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV active exploitation was reported.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available intelligence; monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/gs-team-members/vulnerability/wordpress-wordpress-team-members-gs-plugins-plugin-2-8-2-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and upgrade to the first release after 2.8.2 as soon as it is published. If the plugin cannot be removed immediately, disable gs-team-members until a fix is available (loss of team-member functionality), restrict access to the plugin's deserialization-exposed features to administrator-level users (breaks lower-role workflows), disable open user registration and audit or remove untrusted low-privilege accounts (reduces the PR:L attack surface but does not help against existing accounts), and consider a WAF rule blocking serialized object payloads to plugin endpoints (tuning required to avoid false positives).

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-502, deserialization of untrusted data, in a WordPress plugin. The gs-team-members plugin passes attacker-controlled input to PHP's unserialize() or an equivalent unserialization path without adequate validation, allowing PHP Object Injection. In WordPress, object injection is only directly exploitable for code execution or file manipulation when a POP (property-oriented programming) gadget chain is reachable through classes loaded by the plugin, WordPress core, or other installed themes/plugins; otherwise impact may be limited to object instantiation and possible logic abuse. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:gs_plugins:wordpress_team_members_-_gs_plugins:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected plugin, and the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N indicates the vulnerable path is remotely reachable by an authenticated low-privilege user with no user interaction.

DescriptionCVE.org

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in GS Plugins WordPress Team Members - GS Plugins gs-team-members allows Object Injection.This issue affects WordPress Team Members - GS Plugins: from n/a through 2.8.2.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

GS Plugins Team Members plugin for WordPress, versions through 2.8.2, presents a high-severity object-injection risk that could allow an authenticated low-privilege user to compromise site confidentiality, integrity, and availability if a usable gadget chain exists. Affected WordPress sites may face unauthorized data exposure, content manipulation, or service disruption, making exposed installations a leadership-level concern. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so containment and inventory should begin immediately.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include disabling or removing the GS Plugins Team Members plugin through version 2.8.2 on internet-facing or business-critical sites, restricting low-privilege authenticated access and enforcing least privilege, monitoring for crafted serialized input, and deploying WAF rules to block object-injection payloads until a vendor fix is available.
