Description

The Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7 does not prevent the deserialization of user-controlled input in some of its event content fields, allowing users with Contributor-level access and above to inject PHP objects. No POP chain is present in the Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7 itself, but if one is present via another installed Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7 or , this could lead to actions such as arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data retrieval, or remote code execution. This is an incomplete fix of the Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7's earlier object-injection advisories.

Technical Analysis

The Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before version 5.3.7 does not adequately prevent deserialization of user-supplied input in some event content fields. This vulnerability allows users with Contributor-level or greater privileges to inject PHP objects. Although the plugin lacks a native POP (Property Oriented Programming) chain, exploitation is possible if another vulnerable plugin or instance with a POP chain is installed. Potential impacts include arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data retrieval, or remote code execution. This vulnerability is a continuation of incomplete remediation of earlier object injection issues in the same plugin.

Potential Impact

Users with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject PHP objects via deserialization. If a suitable POP chain is available through this or another installed vulnerable plugin, attackers could perform critical actions such as deleting files, accessing sensitive information, or executing arbitrary code remotely. This elevates the risk of significant compromise on affected WordPress sites using the vulnerable plugin versions.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade the Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin to version 5.3.7 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Since this is an incomplete fix of prior object injection issues, ensure all instances of the plugin are updated to prevent exploitation. No other specific mitigations are indicated.
