AI-suggested
In the meantime, review installed plugins and themes for known POP chains that could be exploited in conjunction with this vulnerability. Consider disabling or removing the CozyStay and TinySalt plugins if they are not essential, or restrict access to the vulnerable ajax_handler functionality via web application firewall rules or other access controls until a patch is released.
Description
The CozyStay and TinySalt plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.0, and in all versions up to, and including 3.9.0, respectively, via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'ajax_handler' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.
