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 WordPress site with the ThemeRex RexCoin theme installed and active at version 1.2.6 or earlier. Per the supplied CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no user interaction are needed, and the vector is network-reachable against a default install of the affected theme. The specific request, parameter, or deserialization sink that triggers the injection is not described in the available sources. As a PHP Object Injection flaw (CWE-502), realized impact depends on a usable gadget/POP chain being reachable in the theme or co-installed plugins - a factor the sources do not confirm - which is the main limiting condition on turning the injection into code execution or full compromise. No fixed version is listed in the available data. |
| Impact | Signals are mostly aligned toward high priority but rest on a thin single source. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact - consistent with CWE-502 PHP Object Injection, which can lead to code execution or data compromise when a suitable gadget chain is present. The vuln.today decision label is act_now, which signals urgency and should be treated as the operative prioritization. However, several key signals are MISSING rather than conflicting: no EPSS exploitation-probability score is provided, the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no confirmed proof-of-concept or working exploit code is indicated - the only reference is a Patchstack vulnerability-database advisory, not exploit code. There is therefore no confirmed real-world exploitation, and the high score reflects potential impact and ease of access rather than observed attacks. This is a genuine priority to patch given unauthenticated network reach on a public-facing WordPress theme, but the absence of EPSS/KEV/PoC data means the likelihood half of the risk picture is unverified and should be confirmed with the vendor/Patchstack. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted input to a WordPress site running the RexCoin theme (<= 1.2.6) that reaches a vulnerable PHP deserialization call, injecting a malicious serialized object. If a usable gadget chain is present in the theme or loaded plugins, this can escalate to data compromise or code execution. No confirmed public exploit code is identified at time of analysis; the only available reference is a Patchstack advisory, and the exact trigger is not described in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the ThemeRex RexCoin WordPress theme at version 1.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to reach the theme's deserialization path without credentials and without user interaction, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. Realized impact hinges on whether a usable gadget/POP chain is reachable in the theme or a co-installed plugin, a condition the available sources do not confirm, and the specific request, parameter or sink that triggers the injection is likewise not described. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, no fixed version is listed in the available data, and the vuln.today priority is act_now based largely on a single Patchstack source.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available data, so the only containment the evidence supports is removing the exposure: deactivate and uninstall the RexCoin theme on any site running version 1.2.6 or earlier, since the assessed exploitation conditions require the theme to be installed and active, and track the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/rexcoin/vulnerability/wordpress-rexcoin-theme-1-2-6-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for a patched release before reinstalling. Because the deserialization primitive is unauthenticated and network-reachable on a default installation, sites that cannot immediately remove the theme should be treated as exposed until a fixed release is published, and the surroundings should be reviewed for autoloadable classes that could supply a gadget chain. No workaround, configuration toggle or partial fix is documented in the supplied sources, and no exact patched version should be assumed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a PHP Object Injection (CWE-502, insecure deserialization) in the ThemeRex RexCoin WordPress theme: attacker-supplied serialized data reaches a PHP unserialize() path, and PHP's magic methods (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString and similar) on instantiated objects can then be abused to pivot into a gadget chain. Because a WordPress theme executes in the same PHP process as the site's plugins and other themes, the practical severity of a CWE-502 primitive depends on which classes are autoloadable on the target installation; without a workable chain the injection may only produce an object of an unintended class rather than code execution or full site compromise, and the sources provided do not confirm that such a chain exists here. The supplied CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H establishes network reachability and the absence of required authentication or user interaction and describes severity, not the trigger mechanism; the exact endpoint, parameter and deserialization sink are not described in the available evidence. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:rexcoin:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* matches the whole theme product line, consistent with the advisory's '<= 1.2.6' range.

Executive ViewAI
The RexCoin WordPress theme (versions ≤1.2.6) contains a critical unauthenticated PHP object injection vulnerability that could allow attackers to compromise site confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This affects all organizations using this theme, potentially leading to full site takeover, data breaches, or defacement if exploited. Leadership should prioritize immediate mitigation due to the high impact and ease of remote exploitation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: disabling or removing the vulnerable theme if not critical; deploying WAF rules to block malicious deserialization attempts; restricting access to wp-admin and other sensitive endpoints; monitoring for suspicious activity; and removing unnecessary plugins to reduce gadget chain risk.
