Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Kapee < 1.7.0 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the Kapee WordPress theme versions prior to 1.7.0 allows remote attackers to inject crafted serialized objects that, when combined with suitable gadget chains, can lead to high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw was reported by Patchstack and a vendor patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated network vector makes this a meaningful priority for sites running this commercial WooCommerce theme.
Technical ContextAI
Kapee is a commercial WooCommerce/WordPress theme by PressLayouts (CPE cpe:2.3:a:presslayouts:kapee). The root cause is CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data): PHP's unserialize() reconstructs objects and invokes magic methods such as __wakeup, __destruct, or __toString. When attacker-controlled input reaches unserialize(), an attacker can stage a POP (property-oriented programming) gadget chain using classes loaded by WordPress core, WooCommerce, or other active plugins to achieve arbitrary file write, SQL injection, or remote code execution depending on available gadgets in the runtime.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Kapee theme to version 1.7.0 or later, which the input data confirms as a vendor-released patch; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/kapee/vulnerability/wordpress-kapee-theme-1-7-0-php-object-injection-vulnerability for upgrade guidance. If immediate upgrade is not possible, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) to block requests containing serialized PHP payloads (patterns such as O:, a:, s: in suspicious parameters) targeting Kapee theme endpoints - note this may produce false positives on legitimate serialized cookies or AJAX traffic. Audit and disable unused plugins to shrink the available POP gadget surface, and ensure WordPress core and WooCommerce are fully patched so that known gadget chains are unavailable; trade-off is potential feature loss from disabled plugins.
