Contributor PHP Object Injection in Post Duplicator <= 3.0.10 versions.

AnalysisAI

PHP Object Injection in the Post Duplicator WordPress plugin versions <= 3.0.10 allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges to trigger insecure deserialization, potentially leading to remote code execution, data tampering, or full site compromise. The flaw is rated CVSS 8.8 (High) and was disclosed by Patchstack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

Post Duplicator is a WordPress plugin by metaphorcreations (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:metaphorcreations:post_duplicator) used to duplicate posts and pages within WordPress. The root cause is CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data): the plugin passes attacker-controlled input into PHP's unserialize() function (or equivalent), which instantiates PHP objects and triggers magic methods such as __wakeup() or __destruct(). When combined with a POP (Property-Oriented Programming) gadget chain present in WordPress core, other plugins, or themes, this primitive can be escalated from object instantiation into arbitrary code execution, file write, or SQL injection.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis based on the provided data - the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/post-duplicator/vulnerability/wordpress-post-duplicator-plugin-3-0-10-php-object-injection-vulnerability) should be consulted for the latest fixed version, and administrators should upgrade to any release newer than 3.0.10 once available. As compensating controls until a patched release is verified, deactivate and remove the Post Duplicator plugin (side effect: loss of duplication functionality), restrict Contributor-level account creation and audit existing Contributor accounts for suspicious users, and deploy a WordPress-aware WAF such as Patchstack or Wordfence with virtual patching for this CVE (side effect: requires subscription and may introduce false positives on legitimate post-edit workflows).
