CVE-2024-7435: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in shafayat-alam Attire
The Attire theme for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6 via deserialization of untrusted input. 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-2024-7435 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) in the Attire WordPress theme by shafayat-alam. It involves unsafe deserialization of untrusted data, enabling PHP Object Injection by authenticated users with at least Contributor privileges. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 2.0.6. Although the theme does not contain a known POP chain for exploitation, the presence of additional plugins or themes with gadget chains could enable severe impacts such as arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data retrieval, or remote code execution.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject PHP objects via deserialization, which may lead to high-impact consequences including complete compromise of the affected WordPress site if a suitable POP chain is available through other installed components. This can result in confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. In the meantime, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or replacing the Attire theme until a fix is released. Review installed plugins and themes for potential gadget chains that could be leveraged in exploitation.
