CVE-2024-10942
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The All-in-One WP Migration and Backup plugin for WordPress contains a PHP Object Injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-10942) affecting all versions up to and including 7.89. The vulnerability exists in the 'replaceserializedvalues' function, which allows unauthenticated attackers to inject PHP Objects through deserialization of untrusted input (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is present in the deserialization process within the 'replaceserializedvalues' function of the plugin. While no known POP (Property-Oriented Programming) chain is present in the vulnerable software itself, if a POP chain exists via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could be exploited. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (NVD).

Impact

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code on the target system. However, exploitation requires an administrator to export and restore a backup, making the attack more complex to execute (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been fixed in version 7.90 of the All-in-One WP Migration plugin. Users are advised to update to this latest version to protect against potential exploitation (WordPress Plugin).
