CVE-2025-32662
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.
NVD · uneditedDeserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Stylemix uListing ulisting allows Object Injection.This issue affects uListing: from n/a through <= 2.2.0.
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 confidenceThis is a PHP Object Injection vulnerability in the Stylemix uListing WordPress plugin. The plugin uses PHP's unserialize() function on untrusted user-supplied data, allowing remote attackers to instantiate arbitrary PHP objects. By leveraging available 'gadget chains' (existing classes with magic methods), attackers can potentially achieve remote code execution, file operations, or other malicious activities.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify uListing plugin is installedLocate the uListing plugin directory in your WordPress installation (typically wp-content/plugins/ulisting) and confirm the plugin files existAffected if The uListing plugin files are present on the server
-
Determine the installed uListing versionOpen the main plugin file (usually ulisting.php) and locate the version comment in the file header, or check the plugin version displayed in WordPress admin under PluginsAffected if The installed version is older than the patched version that replaces unserialize() with json_decode()
-
Confirm the plugin is activeIn WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and verify whether uListing is activatedAffected if The plugin is currently active and processing requests
-
Check for vulnerable unserialize callsReview plugin source code for use of unserialize() function on user-supplied input (typically $_POST, $_GET, or $_REQUEST parameters)Affected if Code contains unserialize() calls handling untrusted input without prior validation
-
Inspect server access logsReview HTTP access logs for unusual requests to uListing endpoints that may indicate exploitation attempts, particularly POST requests with serialized PHP object dataAffected if Logs show requests containing serialized PHP data being sent to uListing endpoints
Your environment is affected if the uListing plugin is installed, active, uses an older version containing unsafe unserialize() calls on user input, and those unserialize() paths are reachable via web requests.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate uListing to the latest version which should replace unsafe unserialize() calls with json_decode() or implement proper input validation. If no update is available, disable the plugin until a patch is released.
