The ToTop Link WordPress plugin through 1.7.1 passes base64 encoded user input to the unserialize() PHP function, which could lead to PHP Object injection if a plugin installed on the blog has a suitable gadget chain.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Totop_link | Nocean | * | 1.7.1 (including) |
Potential Mitigations
- Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
- An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
