Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Behold <= 1.5 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Behold WordPress theme (versions ≤1.5) by edge-themes allows remote attackers to deliver crafted serialized payloads that are deserialized by the theme without validation. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site through gadget-chain abuse, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target WordPress site to have the Behold theme (edge-themes, version ≤1.5) installed and active, and to expose the vulnerable input vector to network requests (CVSS AV:N, PR:N, UI:N - no authentication, no user interaction). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a network-reachable, unauthenticated vulnerability with high impact across the CIA triad, tempered by AC:H - typically because exploitation requires a usable POP (Property-Oriented Programming) gadget chain in the runtime, which is environment-dependent. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker identifies a WordPress site running the Behold theme ≤1.5 and crafts a serialized PHP payload that references a known gadget chain available in the site's loaded code (WordPress core, plugins, or dependencies). The payload is submitted to the vulnerable input vector reachable over HTTP/HTTPS without authentication; when the theme calls unserialize() on the input, the gadget chain executes, leading to arbitrary file write, code execution, or database manipulation that lets the attacker plant a webshell or create an administrator account. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided data - the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/behold/vulnerability/wordpress-behold-theme-1-5-php-object-injection-vulnerability should be checked for an updated fixed version beyond 1.5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all WordPress installations and identify active deployments of Behold theme ≤v1.5; assess business criticality and prioritize remediation for customer-facing systems. …
