CVE-2025-49331
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 impleCode eCommerce Product Catalog ecommerce-product-catalog allows Object Injection.This issue affects eCommerce Product Catalog: from n/a through <= 3.4.3.
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 confidenceA PHP Object Injection vulnerability in the impleCode eCommerce Product Catalog plugin allows deserialization of untrusted data via user-controlled input. This can lead to remote code execution if suitable magic methods or POP chains exist in the application or other installed plugins.

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 impleCode eCommerce Product Catalog plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins and look for 'eCommerce Product Catalog' or 'impleCode' in the installed plugins listAffected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn the Plugins list, locate the eCommerce Product Catalog entry and read the version number displayed beneath the plugin nameAffected if The installed version falls within the vulnerable version range for this CVE
-
Check if the plugin handles serialized data from user inputInspect the plugin files for calls to unserialize() function, particularly those receiving input from $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or similar user-controlled sourcesAffected if The plugin code contains unserialize() calls processing untrusted input without validation
-
Verify WordPress version and other plugin interactionsCheck installed WordPress version and enumerate other active plugins that might provide magic methods or POP chain gadgets exploitable via PHP Object InjectionAffected if Additional plugins with exploitable POP chains or magic methods are present, enabling RCE potential
Your environment is affected if the eCommerce Product Catalog plugin is installed with a vulnerable version that processes untrusted data through unsafe deserialization.
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.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the eCommerce Product Catalog plugin to the latest version which addresses the unsafe deserialization, or implement input validation to prevent untrusted data from reaching unserialize() calls.
Upgrade to eCommerce Product Catalog version 3.4.4 or later (the first version after 3.4.3)
- Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Locate the eCommerce Product Catalog by impleCode plugin
- Check if the current version is 3.4.3 or lower
- If vulnerable, click 'Update Now' if an update is available, or download the latest version from wordpress.org
- After updating, verify the new version number in the plugins list
