CVE-2025-69294
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 fuelthemes PeakShops peakshops allows Object Injection.This issue affects PeakShops: from n/a through <= 1.5.9.
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 confidencePHP Object Injection vulnerability in the PeakShops theme allows remote attackers to deserialize untrusted data through insecure use of PHP's unserialize() function. This can lead to code execution, file inclusion, or SQL injection depending on available gadget chains in the application environment.

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.
-
Identify if PeakShops theme is installedCheck your WordPress installation themes directory for the PeakShops theme folder, typically at wp-content/themes/peakshops/, or list all installed themes via WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes.Affected if The PeakShops theme folder exists in your WordPress installation.
-
Determine the installed PeakShops versionOpen the style.css file within the PeakShops theme folder and locate the 'Version:' header in the file comments, or check theme.json if present.Affected if A version is found that may not have the deserialization fix applied.
-
Search for unsafe deserialization callsSearch all PHP files within the PeakShops theme folder for calls to unserialize() function, particularly without sanitization. Use a command like: grep -r "unserialize" wp-content/themes/peakshops/Affected if The theme contains unserialize() calls that process untrusted or user-controlled input without prior validation.
-
Check for magic methods vulnerable to object injectionSearch for magic methods in theme files that could be triggered during deserialization, such as __wakeup, __destruct, __toString, or __invoke. Use: grep -rn "__wakeup\|__destruct\|__toString\|__invoke" wp-content/themes/peakshops/Affected if Magic methods exist that could be chained with the deserialization vulnerability to achieve code execution.
-
Inspect input sources for deserialized dataReview how data reaches the unserialize() calls by examining $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, or database fields used as input. Examine the code flow around the unserialize calls identified in step 3.Affected if The deserialization receives data directly from user-accessible sources without validation.
You are affected if the PeakShops theme is installed and contains unserialize() calls processing untrusted input, especially when magic methods or gadget chains are present in the codebase.

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 dataUpdate PeakShops theme to the latest version which should contain a fix to replace insecure deserialization with safer alternatives like JSON decoding, or implement proper input validation on any user-controlled data passed to unserialize().
