Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Valiance <= 1.2 versions.
AnalysisAI
PHP Object Injection in the Valiance WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.2) by elated-themes allows attackers to pass attacker-controlled serialized data into a PHP unserialize() sink, enabling object injection that - when paired with a suitable gadget chain from WordPress core or another installed plugin - can lead to remote code execution, file manipulation, or data tampering. The Patchstack advisory labels the issue as unauthenticated, although the published CVSS vector lists PR:H, so the precise authentication boundary should be verified against the vendor advisory. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target site must run the Valiance theme by elated-themes at version 1.2 or earlier and expose the vulnerable theme endpoint that feeds attacker input into unserialize(); successful code execution additionally requires a usable POP gadget chain in WordPress core or in another plugin installed alongside the theme. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a Valiance-powered WordPress site containing a serialized PHP object in a parameter that the theme passes to unserialize(); the object's magic methods trigger a POP gadget chain from WordPress core or another active plugin, resulting in arbitrary file write, SQL execution, or remote code execution as the web user. No public PoC has been referenced in the provided intelligence, but object-injection vulnerabilities in WordPress themes are routinely chained to RCE once a gadget is identified. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory does not cite a fixed Valiance version in the supplied data, so administrators should monitor the elated-themes changelog and the Patchstack record (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/valiance/vulnerability/wordpress-valiance-theme-1-2-php-object-injection-vulnerability) and upgrade as soon as a patched build is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 HOURS: Audit all WordPress installations to identify those running Valiance theme ≤1.2; disable the theme or restrict internet-facing access until patch availability is confirmed. …
