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 LoftOcean CozyStay cozystay allows Object Injection.This issue affects CozyStay: from n/a through < 1.7.1.

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

A deserialization vulnerability in LoftOcean CozyStay allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious PHP objects by supplying untrusted data to deserialization routines. This object injection can potentially lead to remote code execution, file operations, or other attacks depending on available classes in the application context.

MitigationUpgrade CozyStay to version 1.7.1 or later. If upgrade is not immediately possible, audit and restrict any user-controlled input reaching PHP unserialize() or similar deserialization functions, and implement allowlist-based validation for object classes.

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. Identify if CozyStay is installed
    Search web directories for 'CozyStay', 'cozystay', or 'LoftOcean' in application files, themes, or plugins. Check for file paths containing these naming patterns.
    Affected if The product LoftOcean CozyStay is present in the environment
  2. Determine installed CozyStay version
    Look for version information in the application: check plugin/theme headers (style.css comments, main PHP file docblocks), composer.json, package.json, or a dedicated version/config file. Compare the version number to the affected range (versions before 1.7.1).
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 1.7.1 (e.g., 1.7.0, 1.6.x, 1.5.x, etc.)
  3. Locate deserialization code in the application
    Search PHP source files for usage of unserialize(), eval(), base64_decode() combined with variable variables ($$), or similar unsafe deserialization patterns. Use grep: 'unserialize' across the codebase.
    Affected if Code contains calls to unserialize() or similar functions that process untrusted input without validation
  4. Verify if user input reaches deserialization
    Trace the data flow from HTTP request parameters (GET, POST, COOKIE) to the identified deserialization calls. Check if any parameter is used directly in unserialize() without sanitization or allowlist filtering.
    Affected if User-controlled input (request parameters) is passed directly to deserialization functions without validation

A user is affected if CozyStay version is below 1.7.1 AND the application code contains reachable unserialize() calls that process untrusted user input.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade CozyStay to version 1.7.1 or later. If upgrade is not immediately possible, audit and restrict any user-controlled input reaching PHP unserialize() or similar deserialization functions, and implement allowlist-based validation for object classes.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

CozyStay version 1.7.1 or later

  1. Backup your WordPress site and database before performing any updates
  2. Update the CozyStay plugin to version 1.7.1 or later
  3. Verify the update was successful by checking the plugins page in WordPress admin
  4. Test critical functionality of the CozyStay plugin to ensure the update did not break expected features
