Friends
Monthly
The Friends plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.5.1 contains a PHP Object Injection vulnerability in the query_vars parameter that allows authenticated subscribers and above to inject malicious serialized objects through unsafe deserialization. While the plugin itself lacks a known gadget chain (POP chain), successful exploitation depends on the presence of vulnerable code in other installed plugins or themes; if such a chain exists, attackers can achieve arbitrary file deletion, data exfiltration, or remote code execution, but exploitation requires knowledge of the site's SALT_NONCE and SALT_KEY values.
The Friends plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.5 via the discover_available_feeds function. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. This Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability could allow attackers to make the server perform requests to unintended internal or external resources.
