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 · unedited
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in WPSpeedo Team Members wps-team allows Object Injection.This issue affects Team Members: from n/a through <= 3.4.4.

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 · high confidence

The WPSpeedo Team Members WordPress plugin (version <= 3.4.4) contains a deserialization vulnerability where untrusted input is passed to PHP's unserialize() function, allowing authenticated attackers to inject malicious PHP objects. This object injection can potentially lead to remote code execution if suitable magic methods exist in the plugin or other installed plugins/themes.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of the Team Members plugin if a patched release is available; otherwise, disable or remove the plugin until a fix is released.

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 the wps-team plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory for a folder named 'wps-team', 'wpspeedo-team-members', or similar, and confirm the plugin files exist in wp-content/plugins/
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
  2. Check the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file or readme.txt in the plugin folder and locate the version number; compare it to 3.4.4 or lower
    Affected if The reported version is 3.4.4 or any version lower than 3.4.4
  3. Identify unsafe unserialize() calls in plugin code
    Search all PHP files in the plugin folder for the pattern 'unserialize(' using grep, a code search tool, or manual inspection
    Affected if Any PHP file in the plugin contains unserialize() calls that process input
  4. Confirm user input reaches unserialize()
    Trace the code path from any found unserialize() calls backward to determine if $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or similar user-supplied data is passed as the argument
    Affected if User-controllable data from HTTP request parameters flows directly to the unserialize() function

You are affected if the wps-team plugin is installed with version 3.4.4 or lower and contains unserialize() calls that process unauthenticated user input from HTTP requests.
