CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/502.html

The AI ChatBot WordPress plugin before 4.4.7 unserializes user input from cookies via an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users, which could allow them to perform PHP Object Injection when a suitable gadget is present on the blog

Weakness

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

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Wpbot Quantumcloud * 4.4.7 (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.
