Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Zermatt <= 1.6.1 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Zermatt WordPress theme versions 1.6.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to deliver malicious serialized PHP objects to a vulnerable unserialize() sink without prior authentication. Successful exploitation can lead to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when a suitable POP gadget chain is reachable in the WordPress installation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reach to a WordPress site running the Zermatt theme version 1.6.1 or earlier with the vulnerable deserialization endpoint exposed (no authentication or user interaction required per PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - network-reachable, no authentication, no user interaction, but high attack complexity, typically reflecting reliance on a usable gadget chain or specific runtime state. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker crafts a serialized PHP object payload encoding a POP gadget chain available in the target WordPress stack and submits it to a Zermatt theme endpoint that deserializes user input, for example via a GET/POST parameter handled by the theme. When PHP unserializes the payload, magic methods on the instantiated objects fire and the chain culminates in file writes or code execution, allowing the attacker to drop a webshell or take over the site. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided references; site operators should monitor the Select-Themes vendor channel and the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/zermatt/vulnerability/wordpress-zermatt-theme-1-6-1-php-object-injection-vulnerability) for an updated theme release beyond 1.6.1 and apply it immediately when available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all WordPress installations using Zermatt theme v1.6.1 or earlier; if operationally feasible, deactivate the theme and deploy an alternative. …
