Kalles Addons permits unauthenticated PHP object injection

Kalles Addons through 1.0.6 deserializes untrusted input, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject a PHP object. The plugin does not supply a known POP chain itself, but a usable chain in another installed plugin or theme can enable arbitrary file deletion, sensitive-data retrieval, or code execution.

Technical description

The Kalles Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.
