CVE-2025-14071: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in livecomposer Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder
The Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 via deserialization of untrusted input in the dslc_module_posts_output shortcode. 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 plugin, 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-2025-14071 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.0.2. The flaw exists in the dslc_module_posts_output shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher to inject PHP objects. However, the plugin itself does not contain a POP (Property Oriented Programming) chain necessary to exploit this vulnerability independently. Exploitation requires the presence of an additional plugin or theme on the target system that contains a suitable POP chain. If such a chain exists, attackers may leverage it to perform critical actions including arbitrary file deletion, data disclosure, or remote code execution. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5, reflecting network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but requiring low privileges and high attack complexity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject PHP objects via deserialization, potentially leading to arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data exposure, or code execution if a suitable POP chain is present in other installed plugins or themes. Without such a POP chain, the vulnerability has no direct impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch links or official fixes are provided, users should monitor the vendor's announcements for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and review installed plugins and themes for known POP chains that could be exploited in conjunction with this vulnerability.
