Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in the Guru Team Site Chat on Telegram WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.0.4) allows attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects, potentially leading to remote code execution if suitable magic methods exist in the application.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of Site Chat on Telegram if a patch is available; otherwise disable the plugin until a fix is released, as deserialization vulnerabilities can be exploited without authentication.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Site Chat on Telegram plugin is installed
    Check if the plugin directory exists in wp-content/plugins/ (common names: site-chat-on-telegram, guru-team-site-chat-on-telegram, or similar). Use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --status=active --field=name | grep -i telegram
    Affected if The plugin directory or an active plugin with 'telegram' in the name exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    Read the main plugin PHP file header for the Version field. Common path: wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/[plugin-file].php. Run: grep -i 'Version:' wp-content/plugins/*/site-chat-on-telegram*.php
    Affected if The plugin version displayed is 1.0.4 or any version lower than 1.0.4
  3. Confirm the plugin processes external Telegram data
    Inspect the plugin code for functions that handle incoming data from Telegram (webhook handlers, REST API endpoints, or callback functions). Look for: register_rest_route calls, wp_ajax_ hooks, or parse_request functions that receive $_GET/$_POST data from Telegram
    Affected if The plugin has active endpoints that accept and process data from Telegram servers without sanitization
  4. Verify deserialization usage in the plugin
    Search the plugin source code for unserialize() calls that operate on input data. Run: grep -rn 'unserialize' wp-content/plugins/[plugin-folder]/
    Affected if The plugin code contains unserialize() calls operating on data that originates from unauthenticated user input

If the Site Chat on Telegram plugin is installed at version 1.0.4 or lower and processes Telegram webhook data, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2025-30949.
