Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Booking Activities <= 1.18.4 versions.
AnalysisAI
PHP Object Injection in the Booking Activities WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.18.4) exposes sites to potential remote code execution through unsafe deserialization of attacker-controlled data. The CVSS vector (PR:N, UI:R) indicates exploitation requires no authentication but does require some form of user interaction, suggesting the attack surface likely involves a front-end booking form or link that a visitor triggers. Depending on available PHP class chains (POP chains) in the WordPress environment, impact can reach full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) is the root cause class. PHP's native unserialize() function, when fed attacker-controlled input, instantiates arbitrary PHP objects and invokes magic methods (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString, etc.) on whatever classes are loaded in the runtime. WordPress installations carry a large class surface - including popular plugins and themes - which significantly increases the probability of a viable Property-Oriented Programming (POP) chain being present. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:booking_activities_team:booking_activities:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions through 1.18.4. The vulnerability was disclosed by Patchstack.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade Booking Activities to a version above 1.18.4. The exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available intelligence data - consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/booking-activities/vulnerability/wordpress-booking-activities-plugin-1-18-4-php-object-injection-vulnerability and the WordPress plugin repository for the current patched release. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, consider disabling the plugin entirely as a compensating control (trade-off: booking functionality will be unavailable). As an additional layer, a web application firewall (WAF) rule blocking serialized PHP payloads in request parameters can reduce exploitation risk but is not a substitute for patching, as filter bypass techniques exist.
