CVE-2024-13777: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in ZoomIt ZoomSounds - WordPress Wave Audio Player with Playlist
The ZoomSounds - WordPress Wave Audio Player with Playlist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.91 via deserialization of untrusted input from the 'margs' parameter. 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13777 is a PHP Object Injection vulnerability (CWE-502) in the ZoomSounds - WordPress Wave Audio Player with Playlist plugin. It arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted input passed via the 'margs' parameter. The vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers but requires the presence of a gadget POP chain in other installed plugins or themes to achieve impact. Without such a POP chain, exploitation is not feasible. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 6.91 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
If exploited in an environment where a suitable POP chain exists, attackers could perform actions such as arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data disclosure, or remote code execution. However, the vulnerability alone does not enable these impacts; it depends on the presence of additional vulnerable components. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Since exploitation depends on the presence of a POP chain in other plugins or themes, review and update all installed WordPress components to their latest versions. Consider removing or replacing plugins/themes that may contain POP chains. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or patches addressing this issue. Patch status is not yet confirmed—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
