Site administrators should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. In the meantime, limiting installation of untrusted plugins or themes that could provide a POP chain may reduce risk. Consider disabling or removing the Nexter Extension plugin if it is not essential. No vendor advisory indicating 'no action required' or 'already mitigated' is available.
Description
The Nexter Extension – Site Enhancements Toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.6 via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'nxt_unserialize_replace' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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.
