Unauthenticated network reach (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), but successful object injection depends on a reachable POP gadget chain, a real complexity factor warranting AC:H; full impact assumed when such a chain exists.

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Easy Google Maps <= 1.13.0 versions.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated PHP object injection affects the Easy Google Maps WordPress plugin (vendor Supsystic) in all versions up to and including 1.13.0, letting remote attackers submit arbitrary serialized PHP objects that the application deserializes. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 9.8, the flaw can escalate to remote code execution, data theft, or full site takeover when a suitable property-oriented programming (POP) gadget chain is present in the plugin, WordPress core, or another active extension. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The root cause is CWE-502, deserialization of untrusted data. WordPress plugins frequently pass attacker-influenced input (request parameters, cookies, or stored options) to PHP's unserialize(), which instantiates arbitrary objects and fires magic methods such as __wakeup(), __destruct(), and __toString(). Easy Google Maps is a map embed/management plugin by Supsystic (CPE cpe:2.3:a:supsystic:easy_google_maps, plugin slug google-maps-easy) built on the standard WordPress plugin/AJAX API. PHP object injection is only directly harmful when a usable POP gadget chain exists in loaded code; the injected object's lifecycle methods are then chained to reach sensitive sinks such as file writes, SQL, command execution, or arbitrary option updates.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data, so consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/google-maps-easy/vulnerability/wordpress-easy-google-maps-plugin-1-13-0-php-object-injection-vulnerability) for the fixed release and upgrade Easy Google Maps to a version later than 1.13.0 as the primary fix once available. Until then, effective compensating controls include deactivating and removing the plugin (trade-off: all map embeds break site-wide), deploying a WAF or Patchstack virtual patch rule that blocks serialized PHP object payloads such as request values containing O:<len>: or a:<len>: patterns on the plugin's endpoints (side effect: possible false positives on legitimate serialized data), and restricting access to the plugin's AJAX/REST endpoints to trusted IPs where feasible. Additionally audit logs for exploitation indicators and rotate secrets if compromise is suspected, since object injection can enable option tampering.
