CVE-2024-13645: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in tagDiv tagDiv Composer
The tagDiv Composer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Instantiation in all versions up to, and including, 5.3 via module parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to Instantiate 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13645 is a critical vulnerability in the tagDiv Composer WordPress plugin (up to version 5.3) involving improper control of code generation (CWE-94) through PHP Object Instantiation via the module parameter. While the vulnerability enables unauthenticated attackers to instantiate PHP objects, exploitation requires the presence of a gadget POP chain from another plugin or theme to achieve code execution or other malicious actions. Without such a POP chain, the vulnerability has no direct impact. The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 reflects the potential for remote, unauthenticated, high-impact exploitation if combined with additional vulnerable components.
Potential Impact
If exploited in conjunction with a suitable POP chain from another plugin or theme, attackers could delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code on the affected WordPress site. Without such a POP chain, this vulnerability does not lead to direct compromise. No known exploits are currently active in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should review installed plugins and themes for known POP chains that could be leveraged in combination with this vulnerability. Consider disabling or removing untrusted or unnecessary plugins and themes to reduce risk.
