Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in WP Activity Log <= 5.6.3.1 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the WP Activity Log WordPress plugin versions 5.6.3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to deliver crafted serialized payloads that are deserialized by the plugin, enabling abuse of any POP (property-oriented programming) gadget chain present in WordPress core, other active plugins, or themes. With a CVSS 3.1 base of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and no authentication required, successful exploitation typically yields remote code execution, arbitrary file operations, or database compromise on the affected site. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target WordPress site must have the WP Activity Log plugin (slug wp-security-audit-log) installed and active at version 5.6.3.1 or earlier, with the vulnerable deserialization endpoint reachable over HTTP/HTTPS. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All signals point to a genuine high-severity issue: CVSS 9.8 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N means it is reachable over the network at low complexity with no authentication or user interaction, and CIA impact is High across the board. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP request to a WP Activity Log endpoint that passes user input into unserialize(), embedding a serialized PHP object designed to trigger a POP gadget chain from WordPress core or another installed plugin. When the plugin deserializes the payload, the chained magic methods execute, leading to arbitrary file write, SQL execution, or PHP code execution depending on the gadget available on the target site. … |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available per the Patchstack advisory; a specific patched release version is not independently confirmed in the input data, so administrators should upgrade WP Activity Log to the latest version newer than 5.6.3.1 published by Melapress and verify the changelog references this PHP object injection fix (advisory: https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-security-audit-log/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-activity-log-plugin-5-6-3-1-php-object-injection-vulnerability). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
