Subscriber PHP Object Injection in ShortPixel Image Optimizer <= 6.5.5 versions.
AnalysisAI
PHP object injection in the ShortPixel Image Optimizer WordPress plugin through version 6.5.5 allows an authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to pass attacker-controlled data into an unsafe deserialization path, potentially achieving limited confidentiality and integrity impact inside the plugin's scope. Exploitation is conditional and high-complexity: it only yields meaningful escalation if a usable POP gadget chain exists in WordPress core, another installed plugin, or the active theme, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated WordPress account at Subscriber level or higher (PR:L) on a site running ShortPixel Image Optimizer version 6.5.5 or earlier; the plugin must expose a deserialization sink reachable by that role. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The single provided signal set points to a real-but-conditional issue rather than a high-priority emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch version is not confirmed in the available data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/shortpixel-image-optimiser/vulnerability/wordpress-shortpixel-image-optimizer-plugin-6-5-5-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and the WordPress plugin repository for the fixed release, then upgrade ShortPixel Image Optimizer from 6.5.5 or earlier to that patched version as the primary fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
