The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated WordPress user with the Shop manager role (a WooCommerce store-management role), so this is not anonymously exploitable despite AV:N. The attacker must reach a plugin input that is passed to PHP deserialization (unserialize) and supply a crafted serialized object; the specific feature or endpoint is not described in the available sources. Realized impact is further gated on a usable POP gadget chain being present in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed plugin - without one, object injection may not reach code execution. The Shop-manager privilege requirement and the version ceiling (<= 8.3.4) are the primary limiting factors.

Impact

Signals are mixed and point to a real but conditional risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N, 7.2 High) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with no user interaction but requiring high privileges (PR:H), which aligns with the 'Shop manager' role named in the title - a WooCommerce-level account, not an anonymous visitor. No EPSS score was supplied and the vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), so this is a prioritized-but-not-drop-everything issue. It is not in CISA KEV and no verified exploit is listed, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. The principal caveat: CWE-502 PHP Object Injection only yields high impact (C:H/I:H/A:H, and potentially code execution) when a usable POP gadget chain exists in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed plugin - the supplied evidence does not confirm such a chain, so the full I/A/C impact is the theoretical ceiling rather than a confirmed outcome. The requirement for an authenticated Shop manager account meaningfully narrows the attacker population to users who already hold a privileged store role.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds (or has compromised) a WordPress Shop manager account on a site running FV Flowplayer Video Player <= 8.3.4 submits a crafted serialized string to an input the plugin deserializes, instantiating an attacker-controlled PHP object. If a suitable gadget (POP) chain is present in the stack, this can escalate to file operations or code execution in the site's context. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the precise injection point is not described in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026

PHP object injection in FV Flowplayer Video Player 8.3.4 and earlier allows an authenticated WordPress user with the WooCommerce Shop manager role to supply a crafted serialized object to a plugin input that reaches PHP deserialization. Successful object injection can produce high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact per the CVSS vector, but realized code execution is conditional on a usable POP gadget chain being present in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed component. The flaw is not anonymously exploitable because it requires the high-privilege Shop manager role, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no fixed version is listed in the supplied data. Until a patched release is available, restrict the WooCommerce Shop manager role to trusted accounts, because that role is the stated prerequisite, and disable or remove the FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin if video playback functionality can be sacrificed; disabling the plugin removes exposure but may break embedded video features. Review the Patchstack advisory for updates at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/vulnerability/wordpress-fv-flowplayer-video-player-plugin-8-3-4-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. No other workaround is specified in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the WordPress plugin FV Flowplayer Video Player, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:foliovision:fv_flowplayer_video_player:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and capped at version 8.3.4. CWE-502 describes the root cause class: deserialization of untrusted data, where attacker-influenced input is passed to PHP object deserialization, potentially allowing arbitrary class instantiation if the input path is reachable. The CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, meaning network reachability but a high-privilege prerequisite; the independent assessment identifies that prerequisite as the WooCommerce Shop manager role, so this is not anonymously exploitable. The specific plugin feature or endpoint that reaches unserialize is not described in the available sources. Realized impact beyond object injection depends on a usable POP gadget chain being available in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed plugin; without such a chain, the flaw may not reach code execution.

Shop manager PHP Object Injection in FV Flowplayer Video Player <= 8.3.4 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-118079 is a high-severity vulnerability in the FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin (versions 8.3.4 and earlier) that could allow an authenticated user with the WooCommerce Shop manager role to trigger PHP object injection. While exploitation requires this specific high-privilege role and depends on additional conditions for full impact, a compromise could affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the WordPress site and its data. Leadership should ensure the plugin is updated to the latest version and that Shop manager access is tightly controlled.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; implement strict access controls for Shop manager accounts, monitor for unusual serialized input, and consider disabling the plugin until a fix is available.
