Network-reachable, low-complexity object injection, but the Patchstack 'Subscriber' label indicates a low-privileged account is required, so PR:L rather than PR:N; full C/I/A impact assumed via a POP gadget chain.

Subscriber PHP Object Injection in Export User Data <= 2.2.6 versions.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
PHP Object Injection in the Export User Data WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.2.6) allows attackers to inject crafted serialized objects that are deserialized by the plugin, potentially leading to remote code execution, data theft, or site takeover when a suitable POP gadget chain is present. Reported by Patchstack (EUVD-2026-53980) and rated CVSS 9.8, though the Patchstack title labels it a 'Subscriber' issue, implying a low-privileged account is actually required. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires reaching a code path in Export User Data ≤2.2.6 that passes attacker-controlled input to PHP unserialize(), and - for meaningful impact - the presence of a usable POP gadget chain in the plugin, WordPress core, or another installed plugin (object injection alone is inert without a gadget). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) describes a network, unauthenticated, low-complexity path to full compromise, which would make this critical. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers (or already holds) a low-privileged account on a WordPress site running Export User Data ≤2.2.6, then submits a request to a plugin endpoint containing a crafted serialized PHP object. When the plugin deserializes the input, a POP gadget chain in the environment is triggered, allowing the attacker to write files, tamper with data, or execute code and take over the site. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data, so confirm the fixed release directly via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/export-user-data/vulnerability/wordpress-export-user-data-plugin-2-2-6-php-object-injection-vulnerability) and upgrade to any release newer than 2.2.6 once published; if none exists yet, deactivate and remove the Export User Data plugin until a fix ships. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Audit all WordPress installations for Export User Data plugin versions up to 2.2.6; disable the plugin immediately if not mission-critical, and restrict Subscriber account creation or access to trusted users only. …
