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 an authenticated account with at least Contributor-level privileges on a WordPress site running 10Web Social Photo Feed (wd-instagram-feed) version 1.5.6 or earlier (PR:L per the CVSS vector and the 'Contributor' scope in the title). No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the vector is network-reachable (AV:N). Exploitation is therefore limited to environments that grant Contributor accounts to untrusted or lower-trust users; sites that do not allow such registrations or restrict those roles are far less exposed. The exact plugin input/feature that deserializes untrusted data is not described in the available sources, and successful object injection generally also depends on a usable gadget chain being present. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but conditional priority rather than a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H, score 8.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability - consistent with a PHP Object Injection (CWE-502) that can escalate to code execution or data compromise via a suitable gadget chain. The decisive mitigating signal is PR:L: the CVE title explicitly scopes this to 'Contributor' level, so an attacker needs a valid authenticated Contributor account on the target WordPress site, not anonymous access. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), which matches a serious authenticated flaw without confirmed mass exploitation. No EPSS score was supplied, no CISA KEV listing is present, and no proof-of-concept or exploit code is indicated - only a Patchstack advisory reference. The main data gap is mechanism: the CVE description does not say which parameter or feature deserializes untrusted input, and no gadget chain is documented, so whether object injection reliably reaches RCE on a default install is unverified. Treat as an authenticated high-severity issue to patch promptly on any site that grants untrusted users Contributor accounts. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds (or registers/obtains) a Contributor-level account on a WordPress site running 10Web Social Photo Feed <= 1.5.6 submits a crafted serialized PHP object through an affected plugin input. If a suitable gadget chain is present in the plugin or other installed code, deserialization instantiates attacker-controlled objects, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or data compromise. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis; the trigger parameter is not described in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
PHP object injection in the WordPress plugin 10Web Social Photo Feed (wd-instagram-feed) through version 1.5.6 lets an authenticated user with Contributor-level access pass attacker-controlled serialized data into PHP's object instantiation path, yielding a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H). Because the vector requires PR:L and the reported scope is Contributor, exposure is limited to sites that hand Contributor accounts to lower-trust or self-registered users; sites with tightly controlled roles face a much narrower path. No confirmed public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and full impact generally depends on a usable gadget chain being present elsewhere in the WordPress install, making this a genuine but conditional priority rather than a drop-everything emergency.
RemediationAI
The supplied data does not identify a specific fixed release, so the first step is to check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wd-instagram-feed/vulnerability/wordpress-10web-social-photo-feed-plugin-1-5-6-php-object-injection-vulnerability for the version that resolves the issue and update the plugin past 1.5.6 through the WordPress plugin updater as soon as that build is published; because the vulnerable surface sits entirely inside the plugin, updating removes it. Until then, the effective control follows directly from the assessed prerequisite (PR:L, Contributor scope): audit every account holding the Contributor role and remove or downgrade any that belong to untrusted, self-registered or dormant users, and close open registration paths that hand out Contributor-level access - the trade-off is reduced editorial throughput for sites that rely on outside contributors, and registration changes may break legitimate onboarding workflows. If the plugin's Instagram feed functionality is not in active use, deactivating and deleting it eliminates the exposure outright at the cost of that feed. Hardening against the secondary condition, a usable gadget chain, means reviewing other installed plugins and themes for classes with dangerous magic methods, but that reduces rather than removes risk and is not a substitute for the vendor fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-502, deserialization of untrusted data, in a PHP-based WordPress plugin. WordPress plugins routinely serialize option data and AJAX/REST payloads, and a PHP object injection arises when such input reaches unserialize() or an equivalent object-instantiation path without an allowed-classes restriction, letting an attacker supply a serialized string whose class and property values are attacker-chosen. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:10web:10web_social_photo_feed:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the plugin across the affected version line up to and including 1.5.6. The specific plugin endpoint, shortcode, AJAX action or option that deserializes the supplied data is not described in the available sources, and the trigger is not described there either. Practical exploitation of PHP object injection is also chain-dependent: the injected object must hit a magic method (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString) in a class loaded on the target site that performs a useful action, so impact varies with the other plugins and themes installed. The Contributor role is the gate - that role can author and manage its own content and reach plugin functionality that higher roles also use, which is consistent with the PR:L metric and the UI:N, AV:N vector.

DescriptionCVE.org
Contributor PHP Object Injection in 10Web Social Photo Feed <= 1.5.6 versions.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity PHP object injection vulnerability in the 10Web Social Photo Feed WordPress plugin (versions through 1.5.6) allows authenticated Contributor-level users to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to full site compromise. This poses a significant risk to organizations that grant Contributor access to external or low-trust users, as it could result in data theft, defacement, or further network intrusion.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting Contributor-level accounts to trusted users, disabling or removing the plugin until a patch is available, and monitoring for unusual activity from Contributor users.
