Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in EmallShop <= 2.4.21 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the EmallShop WordPress theme (versions <= 2.4.21) allows remote attackers to inject crafted serialized PHP objects that are deserialized by the application, potentially leading to remote code execution, data tampering, or denial of service when a suitable gadget chain is present. The flaw was disclosed by Patchstack (EUVD-2026-37470) and carries CVSS 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) - no public exploit identified at time of analysis and not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
EmallShop is a commercial WooCommerce/WordPress theme published by PressLayouts (CPE cpe:2.3:a:presslayouts:emallshop). The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data): the theme passes attacker-influenced input through PHP's unserialize() (or an equivalent like maybe_unserialize), which instantiates arbitrary classes and invokes magic methods such as __wakeup, __destruct, or __toString. In WordPress installations, the loaded plugin/theme ecosystem commonly exposes POP (Property-Oriented Programming) gadget chains - for example in Contact Form 7, WooCommerce, or core WP_HTTP classes - that an object-injection primitive can chain into file writes, SQL queries, or PHP code execution.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory does not specify a fixed version, so administrators should monitor the EmallShop changelog at PressLayouts/ThemeForest and apply the next release above 2.4.21 as soon as it is published (consult https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/emallshop/vulnerability/wordpress-emallshop-theme-2-4-21-php-object-injection-vulnerability for updates). In the interim, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack vPatch, Wordfence, or equivalent) that blocks requests containing serialized PHP payloads (patterns such as O:\d+:"...", a:\d+:{...}) against EmallShop endpoints, restrict access to the affected theme handlers via .htaccess or nginx location blocks, audit installed plugins to remove ones known to contribute object-injection gadget chains (e.g., outdated Contact Form 7, older WooCommerce extensions), and consider temporarily switching the active theme on high-value sites - accepting the trade-off of broken storefront layout - until a patched version ships.
