The Easy Digital Downloads – Simple eCommerce for Selling Digital Files plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted input via the upload[file] parameter in versions up to, and including 3.3.3. This makes it possible for authenticated administrative users to call files using a PHAR wrapper, that will deserialize and call arbitrary PHP Objects that can be used to perform a variety of malicious actions granted a POP chain is also present.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Easy_digital_downloads Awesomemotive * 3.3.4 (excluding)

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.
