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 the Everest Forms - Frontend Listing plugin allows attackers to inject malicious PHP objects by supplying untrusted serialized data. This object injection can lead to code execution, file deletion, or other attacks depending on available PHP magic methods and the application's codebase.

MitigationUpdate Everest Forms - Frontend Listing to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, remove or disable the plugin and implement a WAF rule to block deserialization attacks on affected endpoints.

  1. Confirm plugin installation
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate Everest Forms - Frontend Listing in the installed plugins list, or check the wp-content/plugins directory for the plugin folder
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify installed version

    Affected if The Frontend Listing feature is configured and publicly accessible
  4. Review access logs for exploitation attempts
    Search web server access logs for requests containing serialized PHP data (such as O: or a: patterns) to known plugin endpoints, or look for PHP error logs showing unserialize() failures
    Affected if Logs contain patterns indicative of deserialization attack attempts

The environment is affected if Everest Forms - Frontend Listing version 1.0.5 or lower is installed and the Frontend Listing feature is active and accessible.
