Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least the Author role on a site running Modula Image Gallery ≤ 2.14.18 (PR:H per CVSS); the attack is delivered over the network with no user interaction (AV:N, UI:N) and low complexity (AC:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.2 (High) vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with full CIA impact, but gated by PR:H (high privileges - Author or above in WordPress terms). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained or registered a WordPress Author-level account (via credential reuse, phishing, or open author registration) submits a crafted request to a vulnerable Modula Image Gallery endpoint containing a serialized PHP object payload. The plugin deserializes the input via unserialize(), triggering a POP gadget chain in WordPress core or another installed plugin to achieve arbitrary file write or code execution in the web server context. … |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade Modula Image Gallery to a release newer than 2.14.18 as published on the WordPress.org plugin repository and referenced by Patchstack at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/modula-best-grid-gallery/vulnerability/wordpress-modula-image-gallery-plugin-2-14-18-php-object-injection-vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
