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.
-
Locate the ThemeGoods Photography pluginIn your WordPress installation, navigate to wp-content/plugins/ and identify the photography-related plugin directory (often named 'themegoods-photography' or similar). Check the main plugin PHP file for the version in the plugin header comment.Affected if The plugin is installed and the version cannot be determined or is at or below 7.7.2
-
Confirm the installed version numberOpen the main plugin file (usually named the same as the plugin directory) and look for the version comment at the top of the file, such as 'Version: 7.5' or check in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins.Affected if The version is 7.7.2 or lower, or if you cannot determine the version and the plugin is present
-
Identify unserialize() usage in plugin codeSearch the plugin directory for PHP files containing 'unserialize(' calls. Use grep or a file search tool to look for patterns like 'unserialize($_POST', 'unserialize($_GET', or 'unserialize($_REQUEST' within the plugin files.Affected if Any PHP file in the plugin contains unserialize() being called on data derived from user input (GET, POST, COOKIE, or REQUEST superglobals)
-
Verify external input reaches unserializeExamine any found unserialize() calls to determine if the data being unserialized originates from unauthenticated user input. Check if the data passes through any filtering or validation before reaching unserialize().Affected if The plugin accepts and processes unserialized data from unauthenticated sources without proper validation
You are affected if the ThemeGoods Photography plugin is installed at version 7.7.2 or below and contains code that passes unsanitized user input to PHP's unserialize() function.

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 to the latest version of ThemeGoods Photography when available, or implement input validation/sanitization to prevent unserialization of untrusted data. If immediate update is not possible, consider disabling the plugin until a patch is released.
