CVE-2024-10913: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in migrate Clone
The Clone plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'recursive_unserialized_replace' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-10913 is a high-severity vulnerability in the WordPress Clone plugin (versions up to 2.4.6) caused by unsafe deserialization of untrusted data in the 'recursive_unserialized_replace' function. This PHP Object Injection flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject objects. While the plugin alone lacks a POP chain to fully exploit the vulnerability, the presence of additional plugins or themes with POP chains could enable attackers to perform destructive or unauthorized actions such as deleting files, accessing sensitive information, or executing arbitrary code.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to high-impact consequences including confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches. Specifically, attackers might delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code if a suitable POP chain is available through other installed components. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, increasing its risk profile.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the Clone plugin or limiting its exposure. Additionally, review installed plugins and themes for potential POP chains that could be combined with this vulnerability to enable exploitation.
