CVE-2025-60226
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 axiomthemes White Rabbit whiterabbit allows Object Injection.This issue affects White Rabbit: from n/a through <= 1.5.2.
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 confidenceThe White Rabbit WordPress theme by axiomthemes contains a PHP Object Injection vulnerability where untrusted data is deserialized without proper validation, allowing an attacker to instantiate arbitrary objects and potentially achieve remote code execution depending on available class chains.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.
Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

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.
-
Confirm White Rabbit theme installationCheck the WordPress themes directory (wp-content/themes/) for the existence of a 'white-rabbit' or 'white_rabbit' folder, or search for theme files containing 'White Rabbit' or axiomthemes branding.Affected if The White Rabbit theme folder exists in the WordPress themes directory.
-
Determine installed theme versionOpen the theme's style.css file (typically in wp-content/themes/white-rabbit/) and locate the 'Version:' header in the CSS comment block at the top. Alternatively, check version strings in the theme's functions.php or theme.json file.Affected if The version listed is 1.5.2 or lower.
-
Identify unsafe deserialization patternsSearch the theme's PHP files for calls to unserialize() that process external input sources such as $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_REQUEST, or data from the WordPress options API without prior validation. Use grep or similar tools to find patterns like 'unserialize($_' within the theme directory.Affected if The theme contains unserialize() calls that accept unvalidated user-supplied data from HTTP request parameters or stored options.
-
Verify vulnerable code is reachableReview the identified unserialize() calls to determine if they are reachable without authentication. Check if the affected PHP functions or endpoints are exposed (e.g., via AJAX hooks, shortcodes, or template files that execute during page loads).Affected if The unsafe deserialization occurs in code that executes during normal site operation, without requiring administrator-level access.
A user is affected if the White Rabbit theme version is 1.5.2 or lower AND the theme contains unserialize() calls processing untrusted input that is reachable without authentication.

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 dataReplace insecure deserialization (e.g., PHP unserialize()) with safe alternatives such as JSON encoding and implement strict allowlist-based input validation before any deserialization occurs.
