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 | The target must be running the ThemeRex 'Le Truffe' WordPress theme at version 1.1.7 or earlier, with the vulnerable deserialization code path reachable by an unauthenticated network request (consistent with AV:N/PR:N/UI:N). The specific parameter, endpoint, or SAPI that reaches unserialize() is not described in the available sources. The principal limiting factor is that PHP object injection yields code execution or high-impact actions only when a suitable POP gadget chain exists in the loaded WordPress core, plugins, or theme code; without such a chain, impact may be reduced to a lesser effect. No authentication, non-default configuration, or user interaction is required according to the supplied vector. |
| Impact | Signals conflict in a way worth stating plainly. The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H → 9.8) and the vuln.today 'act_now' decision label both argue for urgent treatment: a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with no user interaction and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact. CWE-502 (deserialization) in a WordPress theme is a well-understood, high-impact class. However, several corroborating risk signals are ABSENT rather than negative: no EPSS exploitation-probability score is provided, the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no confirmed public exploit code is present - the single reference is a Patchstack advisory, not a weaponized PoC. The real-world footprint is also low: 'Le Truffe' is a niche ThemeRex WordPress theme, so even a CRITICAL rating translates to a small absolute attack surface. Net assessment: this is a genuinely severe vulnerability by mechanism and CVSS, and the 'act_now' label should be honored for anyone actually running the theme, but there is no evidence yet of widespread or active exploitation - treat it as high-priority patching for affected sites rather than an emergency fleet-wide incident. Note also that object-injection impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) is realized only when a usable POP gadget chain exists in the loaded WordPress/PHP code; the description does not confirm the trigger, so the maximal CVSS impact is an upper bound. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted request to a WordPress site running the Le Truffe theme (≤ 1.1.7) containing a serialized PHP object in an attacker-controlled parameter that reaches an unserialize() call. Because CVSS indicates no authentication and no user interaction (PR:N/UI:N) over the network (AV:N/AC:L), exploitation needs no login or victim action. Actual code execution or data compromise depends on a usable POP gadget chain being present; no confirmed public exploit code was identified at time of analysis - only a Patchstack advisory reference. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Signals conflict in a way worth stating plainly: the Le Truffe WordPress theme through version 1.1.7 contains an unauthenticated PHP object injection (CWE-502) scored CVSS 9.8, but whether it yields code execution or other high-impact actions depends on a suitable POP gadget chain in the loaded WordPress core, plugins, or theme code. Patchstack is the reporting source and the vuln.today decision label is act_now; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerable parameter and endpoint are not described in the supplied data.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the available data, and no exact fixed version is listed; check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/letruffe/vulnerability/wordpress-le-truffe-theme-1-1-7-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for an updated release. If no fixed Le Truffe version is confirmed, the exposed code path can only be removed by disabling or removing the theme, which changes site appearance and may break templates that depend on it. Because the vulnerable parameter and endpoint are not described in the supplied evidence, targeted WAF or access-control rules cannot be specified from the available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is a PHP object injection class flaw (CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data) in a WordPress theme. In PHP, object injection occurs when attacker-controlled input reaches a deserialization path such as unserialize(); the immediate effect is instantiation of attacker-influenced objects, and the impact escalates to code execution or other high-impact actions only when a usable POP gadget chain exists among the loaded WordPress core, plugin, or theme classes. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:le_truffe:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies ThemeRex's Le Truffe theme, and the advisory covers versions up to 1.1.7. The supplied sources do not state which parameter, endpoint, or server API reaches the vulnerable deserialization path.

Executive ViewAI
The Le Truffe WordPress theme (versions through 1.1.7) contains a critical unauthenticated PHP object injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-61998, CVSS 9.8). This flaw allows remote attackers to potentially compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any WordPress site using the theme, with impact severity depending on the presence of a POP gadget chain in the site's plugins or core. Leadership should prioritize remediation because public exploit code may emerge and the theme is likely used on public-facing websites.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling or removing the theme, deploying a WAF with virtual patching, restricting access to vulnerable endpoints, and conducting a security review for POP gadget chains.
