Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Ashtanga <= 1.2 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Mikado-Themes Ashtanga WordPress theme (versions ≤ 1.2) allows remote attackers to deliver malicious serialized PHP objects to the application. When combined with a suitable POP (property-oriented programming) gadget chain present in WordPress core, other plugins, or themes, exploitation can lead to remote code execution, arbitrary file operations, or full site compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify WordPress site running Ashtanga ≤ 1.2
Delivery
Craft serialized PHP payload with POP gadget chain
Exploit
Send unauthenticated HTTP request to vulnerable endpoint
Execution
Theme deserializes attacker-controlled object
Persist
Gadget chain triggers code execution or file write
Impact
Drop webshell and achieve full site takeover

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that (1) the target WordPress site has the Mikado-Themes Ashtanga theme version ≤ 1.2 installed and active, (2) the attacker can reach the vulnerable HTTP endpoint over the network (no authentication or user interaction required, per PR:N/UI:N), and (3) a usable POP gadget chain exists within the loaded WordPress core, plugins, or other themes on that specific site - this last requirement is reflected in CVSS AC:H and is the principal limiting factor, since PHP object injection on its own is harmless without a reachable gadget. … 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 identifies a WordPress site running the Ashtanga theme, crafts a serialized PHP payload that triggers a known POP gadget chain in WordPress core or a co-installed plugin (e.g., via a public PHPGGC chain), and submits it to the vulnerable Ashtanga parameter over HTTP without authentication. On deserialization, the chained magic methods execute, leading to file writes (webshell drop) or arbitrary code execution under the web server's user, resulting in full site takeover.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis in the provided data - administrators should monitor Mikado-Themes and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/ashtanga/vulnerability/wordpress-ashtanga-theme-1-2-php-object-injection-vulnerability for a fixed release beyond 1.2 and upgrade as soon as it is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Conduct inventory of all WordPress installations using Ashtanga theme version 1.2 or earlier; isolate identified systems from public-facing traffic. …
