Strong Testimonials: Authenticated unsafe deserialization
Strong Testimonials is a WordPress plugin affected through 3.3.12. The CNA vector requires low-privileged authenticated access, but no exact WordPress role is disclosed. In this vulnerability, untrusted serialized input reaches object deserialization; the CNA rates confidentiality, integrity and availability impacts high, but the export does not establish a particular object chain or code-execution path. The export does not disclose a concrete endpoint, action, parameter, function, or full input-to-operation path beyond those facts. The completed CNA record identifies 3.3.13 as fixed.

Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Strong Testimonials to 3.3.13 or a later supported release. The completed CNA record identifies this fixed boundary. Do not deserialize attacker-controlled input into application objects; use a validated data-only format instead.
