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. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) flaw in a commercial WordPress theme sold by Mikado-Themes, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:mikado-themes:ashtanga. PHP Object Injection occurs when user-controlled input reaches PHP's unserialize() function (or equivalent), allowing an attacker to instantiate arbitrary classes already loaded in the runtime. In the WordPress ecosystem this is particularly dangerous because the broad surface of loaded plugin and core classes frequently contains 'magic method' gadgets (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString) that can be chained - via tools like PHPGGC - into file writes, SQL queries, or code execution, even when the vulnerable component itself contains no obviously dangerous sink.

RemediationAI

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. Until a patched version is available, deploy a WordPress WAF such as Patchstack or Wordfence with virtual-patching rules for PHP object injection (which will block requests containing serialized object payloads, at the cost of occasionally false-positiving on legitimate serialized data), restrict access to theme endpoints via web-server ACLs or HTTP auth where feasible, and consider deactivating the Ashtanga theme and switching to a default theme on high-value sites (this is the only fully effective mitigation but obviously breaks the site's appearance). Also audit installed plugins and remove any unused ones to shrink the available gadget-chain surface.
