Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Valeska <= 1.2.2 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP object injection in Edge-Themes Valeska WordPress theme versions 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger insecure deserialization, potentially leading to code execution, file manipulation, or full site compromise when suitable PHP magic-method gadgets are present in the WordPress stack. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Patchstack has catalogued the flaw and the high CVSS (8.1) reflects the serious confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact possible against affected installations.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target site must run the Valeska WordPress theme at version 1.2.2 or earlier (Edge-Themes) and expose the vulnerable deserialization sink over the network - consistent with the CVSS AV:N/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication or user interaction is required against default theme installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.1) indicates a remotely reachable, unauthenticated flaw with high impact across CIA, tempered by high attack complexity - typically meaning exploitation depends on the presence of a usable gadget chain in the surrounding PHP environment, which is highly probable on real WordPress sites that load many plugins. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends an HTTP request to a Valeska-handled endpoint (e.g., an AJAX action or front-end parameter) carrying a crafted serialized PHP payload referencing a gadget chain available in the target's WordPress stack. When Valeska deserializes the input, PHP magic methods fire down the chain, resulting in actions such as writing a PHP webshell into the uploads directory, executing arbitrary code, or exfiltrating database contents; AC:H reflects that the attacker must tailor the gadget chain to the victim's installed plugins. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis in the supplied data; site operators should consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/valeska/vulnerability/wordpress-valeska-theme-1-2-2-php-object-injection-vulnerability for the latest fixed version from Edge-Themes and upgrade Valeska beyond 1.2.2 once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all WordPress instances and identify those running Valeska theme version 1.2.2 or earlier; flag for immediate action. …
