CVE-2026-7647: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Cozmoslabs Profile Builder Pro
CVE-2026-7647 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Profile Builder Pro WordPress plugin by Cozmoslabs, affecting all versions up to 3. 14. 5. It involves PHP Object Injection due to unsafe deserialization of attacker-controlled input in an AJAX handler that lacks nonce verification, type checking, or input validation. The vulnerable handler is accessible to unauthenticated users, allowing arbitrary PHP objects to be injected into application memory.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Profile Builder Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection because it uses the maybe_unserialize() function on the 'args' POST parameter within the wppb_request_users_pins_action_callback() AJAX handler without any nonce verification, type checking, or input validation. This handler is registered with both wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks, making it accessible to unauthenticated users. As a result, attackers can inject arbitrary PHP objects into the application memory, potentially leading to full compromise. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-7647 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 (high severity). No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to perform PHP Object Injection, which can lead to remote code execution, complete compromise of the affected WordPress site, and full control over application memory. The CVSS score of 8.1 reflects high impact 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 released, it is recommended to disable or restrict access to the vulnerable AJAX handler if possible, or remove the Profile Builder Pro plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
