Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Broadcast Live Video < 7.1.3 versions.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Broadcast Live Video WordPress plugin (versions prior to 7.1.3) allows remote attackers to inject crafted serialized PHP objects that are deserialized by the application. With a CVSS 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and CWE-502 root cause, successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution, data theft, or full site takeover when suitable gadget chains are present in the WordPress stack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the VideoWhisper Broadcast Live Video plugin for WordPress (CPE cpe:2.3:a:videowhisper.com:broadcast_live_video), a live streaming integration extension. The root cause is CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data): user-controllable input is passed into PHP's unserialize() (or equivalent) without integrity checks, allowing attacker-controlled objects to be instantiated. PHP object injection becomes critical when 'magic methods' (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString) in loaded classes - including those from WordPress core, other active plugins, or Composer dependencies - form a 'POP' (Property-Oriented Programming) gadget chain that can be abused to execute arbitrary code, write files, or perform privileged actions in the WordPress context.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 7.1.3 - upgrade the Broadcast Live Video (VideoWhisper Live Streaming Integration) plugin to version 7.1.3 or later via the WordPress plugin dashboard or by deploying the fixed release from the vendor, per the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/videowhisper-live-streaming-integration/vulnerability/wordpress-broadcast-live-video-plugin-7-1-3-php-object-injection-vulnerability). If immediate patching is not possible, deactivate and remove the plugin until upgrade (loses live streaming functionality), or place the WordPress site behind a WAF with virtual-patching rules from Patchstack/Wordfence that block serialized PHP payloads to plugin endpoints (may cause false positives on legitimate serialized data and does not eliminate root cause). Restricting network access to plugin-exposed AJAX/REST endpoints via IP allowlisting is an additional compensating control where front-end exposure is not required.
