AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, administrators should consider disabling or restricting the use of Post Custom Fields of input type List in Gravity Forms, especially those mapped to the _wp_page_template meta key. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor and applying official patches promptly when released is strongly recommended.
Description
The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress up to and including version 3.1.2 is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via a Post Custom Field of input type List. This occurs because the plugin uses WordPress' unrestricted maybe_unserialize() instead of its own hardened version, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject PHP objects into post meta. While the plugin itself lacks a gadget chain, other plugins or themes may provide one, potentially enabling remote code execution. Specifically, if the custom field maps to the protected _wp_page_template meta key, WordPress functions can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution on vulnerable hosts.
