Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Happyforms <= 1.26.13 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Happyforms WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.26.13) allows remote attackers to deliver attacker-controlled serialized objects that get deserialized by the plugin, potentially leading to remote code execution, file manipulation, or data compromise on the underlying WordPress site. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and unauthenticated network attack vector make this a high-priority issue for any site running the plugin. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Target site must have the Happyforms WordPress plugin installed and active at version 1.26.13 or earlier, with the vulnerable submission endpoint reachable from the attacker's network (typical for any public-facing WordPress site using Happyforms). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) signals the worst-case scenario: remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with full CIA impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Happyforms <= 1.26.13 (fingerprintable via page source, REST endpoints, or plugin enumeration) and sends a crafted HTTP request to a Happyforms-handled endpoint containing a serialized PHP payload. The payload deserializes into a POP gadget chain drawn from WordPress core or other installed plugins, triggering arbitrary file write, SQL execution, or command execution as the PHP/web-server user, leading to site takeover. … |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed in the provided input - administrators should upgrade Happyforms to the latest version released after 1.26.13 by checking the plugin page on wordpress.org or the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/happyforms/vulnerability/wordpress-happyforms-plugin-1-26-13-php-object-injection-vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
