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 designthemes Single Property single-property allows Object Injection.This issue affects Single Property: from n/a through <= 2.8.

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 designthemes Single Property WordPress plugin (versions <= 2.8) allows attackers to inject PHP objects by supplying untrusted serialized data, potentially leading to remote code execution if suitable magic methods or POP chains exist within the plugin or dependent libraries.

MitigationUpgrade the Single Property plugin to a version beyond 2.8 that includes proper input validation, or implement input sanitization to validate and reject untrusted data before deserialization.

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. Locate the Single Property plugin installation
    Check if the designthemes Single Property plugin is installed by looking for a folder named 'designthemes-single-property' or similar in the WordPress plugins directory (typically /wp-content/plugins/)
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file (often named single-property.php or similar) and look for the 'Version' header comment, or check the readme.txt file for the version number
    Affected if The reported version is 2.8 or lower
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    In the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and check if the Single Property plugin is activated
    Affected if The plugin shows as active in WordPress admin
  4. Search for deserialization functions in plugin code
    Use a file search or grep to look for 'unserialize' function calls within the plugin's PHP files, particularly in files that handle form submissions, AJAX requests, or API endpoints
    Affected if The plugin code contains unserialize() calls that process input from user-accessible sources (GET, POST, request parameters)
  5. Check for exposed entry points
    Examine the plugin's AJAX handlers (usually in admin-ajax.php calls) or public-facing form handlers to see if they accept and process serialized data without validation
    Affected if The plugin accepts serialized data from unauthenticated or authenticated users and passes it to unserialize()

You are affected if the Single Property plugin version is 2.8 or lower, the plugin is active, and the vulnerable deserialization code is present and accessible to users.
