CVE-2024-5724: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in webhuntinfotech Photo Video Gallery Master
The Photo Video Gallery Master plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.3 via deserialization of untrusted input 'PVGM_all_photos_details' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, 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-2024-5724 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) affecting the Photo Video Gallery Master plugin for WordPress. It arises from unsafe deserialization of the 'PVGM_all_photos_details' parameter, enabling PHP Object Injection by authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges. The plugin lacks an inherent POP chain, but if combined with other installed plugins or themes that provide such chains, attackers could perform destructive or unauthorized actions including file deletion, data theft, or remote code execution.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can lead to high-impact consequences such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access can inject PHP objects, which may result in arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data exposure, or remote code execution if a suitable POP chain exists in the environment. This elevates the risk of significant compromise of the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Photo Video Gallery Master plugin if possible. Review other installed plugins and themes for potential POP chains that could be leveraged in exploitation.
