CVE-2025-2939: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in techjewel Ninja Tables – Easy Data Table Builder
The Ninja Tables – Easy Data Table Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.18 via deserialization of untrusted input from the args[callback] parameter . This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain allows attackers to execute arbitrary functions, though it does not allow user supplied parameters only single functions can be called so the impact is limited.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-2939 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Ninja Tables – Easy Data Table Builder WordPress plugin up to version 5.0.18. It arises from unsafe deserialization of the args[callback] parameter, allowing unauthenticated PHP Object Injection. The presence of a POP chain permits attackers to execute arbitrary functions without user-supplied parameters, limiting the scope of exploitation. The vulnerability is network exploitable without privileges or user interaction, but requires high attack complexity.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can inject PHP objects via deserialization, potentially leading to execution of arbitrary functions. However, the inability to supply parameters to these functions limits the impact. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent, consistent with the medium CVSS score of 5.6. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
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 communications for updates. Until a fix is available, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable plugin to mitigate risk.
