NVD · unedited
Deserialization 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 confidence

This 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.

MitigationUpgrade to the latest version of Melapress Login Security when a patch is released. Until then, restrict plugin access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity.

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 Melapress Login Security plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Melapress Login Security' or check the plugins directory /wp-content/plugins/ for melapress-login-security folder
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active
  2. Check installed version number
    In 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.php
    Affected if Version is lower than 2.1.1 (e.g., 2.1.0, 2.0.x, 1.x.x)
  3. Identify unserialize() data entry points
    Search 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
  4. Check user role access to vulnerable functionality
    Review WordPress users > All Users and the plugin's role settings to determine which user roles can access Melapress Login Security settings and features
    Affected if Users with Subscriber, Contributor, or Author roles have access to plugin functionality
  5. Audit access logs for PHP object injection attempts
    Review web server access logs (Apache/nginx) and WordPress debug logs for patterns like 'unserialize' in query parameters or POST data to plugin endpoints
    Affected 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.
