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 Melapress MelaPress Login Security melapress-login-security allows Object Injection.This issue affects MelaPress Login Security: from n/a through <= 2.1.0.
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 Melapress Login Security WordPress plugin. The plugin deserializes untrusted data without proper validation, allowing authenticated attackers to inject malicious PHP objects that could potentially lead to remote code execution via PHP's unserialize() function.

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 Melapress Login Security plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Melapress Login Security' or check the plugins directory /wp-content/plugins/ for melapress-login-security folderAffected if The plugin is installed and active
-
Check installed version numberIn WordPress admin > Plugins > Melapress Login Security, view the version number displayed, or inspect the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/melapress-login-security/melapress-login-security.phpAffected if Version is lower than 2.1.1 (e.g., 2.1.0, 2.0.x, 1.x.x)
-
Identify unserialize() data entry pointsSearch plugin files for 'unserialize' calls - look in PHP files within /wp-content/plugins/melapress-login-security/ for any $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters passed directly to unserialize()Affected if Any unserialize() call accepts input from request parameters without validation
-
Check user role access to vulnerable functionalityReview WordPress users > All Users and the plugin's role settings to determine which user roles can access Melapress Login Security settings and featuresAffected if Users with Subscriber, Contributor, or Author roles have access to plugin functionality
-
Audit access logs for PHP object injection attemptsReview web server access logs (Apache/nginx) and WordPress debug logs for patterns like 'unserialize' in query parameters or POST data to plugin endpointsAffected if Suspicious unserialize() injection attempts are found in logs
You are affected if Melapress Login Security plugin is installed with a version lower than 2.1.1 AND the plugin processes untrusted serialized data through user-controllable input.
