CVE-2026-7635: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in gdragon coreActivity: Activity Logging for WordPress

Published: 05/13/2026 (05/13/2026, 04:26:39 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: gdragon
Product: coreActivity: Activity Logging for WordPress

Description

The coreActivity: Activity Logging for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.0. This is due to the plugin failing to validate or strip PHP serialization syntax from the User-Agent HTTP header before storing it in the logmeta table, and subsequently calling `maybe_unserialize()` on every retrieved `meta_value` in `query_metas()` without verifying the data was originally serialized by the application. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a crafted PHP serialized payload via the User-Agent header during any logged event (such as a failed login attempt), which, when an administrator views the Logs page, is deserialized and passed to `DeviceDetector::setUserAgent()`, triggering a Fatal TypeError that creates a persistent Denial of Service condition blocking administrator access to the Logs page entirely.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-7635 describes a PHP Object Injection vulnerability in the coreActivity: Activity Logging for WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to validate or sanitize the User-Agent HTTP header before storing it in the logmeta table. Later, the plugin calls maybe_unserialize() on the stored data without verifying its origin, allowing an attacker to inject malicious serialized data. When an administrator accesses the Logs page, the deserialization triggers a fatal TypeError in DeviceDetector::setUserAgent(), causing a persistent denial of service by preventing access to the Logs page.

Potential Impact

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to cause a persistent denial of service condition by injecting malicious serialized data via the User-Agent header. The denial of service specifically affects administrators by blocking access to the Logs page, potentially hindering incident response and monitoring capabilities. The CVSS score of 8.1 indicates high severity with impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should consider restricting access to the Logs page or filtering User-Agent headers at the web server or firewall level to block suspicious serialized payloads. Avoid viewing the Logs page if suspicious activity is suspected to prevent triggering the denial of service.
