CVE-2025-1971: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in webtoffee Export and Import Users and Customers
The Export and Import Users and Customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2 via deserialization of untrusted input from the 'form_data' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, 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-2025-1971 is a PHP Object Injection vulnerability in the webtoffee Export and Import Users and Customers WordPress plugin (up to version 2.6.2). It arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted input via the 'form_data' parameter. The vulnerability requires authenticated users with Administrator privileges. Exploitation potential depends on the presence of a PHP Object Injection POP chain in other installed plugins or themes, which could enable file deletion, data disclosure, or code execution. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin itself.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level access can inject PHP objects via deserialization. However, the vulnerability alone does not allow exploitation unless a POP chain is available through other plugins or themes. If such a chain exists, the attacker could perform high-impact actions including arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data retrieval, or remote code execution. The CVSS score of 7.2 reflects the high impact potential under these conditions.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch information is provided; patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since exploitation requires Administrator access and a POP chain in other components, review and update all plugins and themes to versions without POP chains. Limit Administrator access to trusted users only. Monitor vendor channels for an official fix or update to the Export and Import Users and Customers plugin.
