Overview

The UnitedThemes Brooklyn WordPress Theme contains a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CVE-2024-24926) affecting all versions up to and including 4.9.7.6. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to perform PHP Object Injection (Patchstack, WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds
