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 ThemeGoods Grand Wedding grandwedding allows Object Injection.This issue affects Grand Wedding: from n/a through < 3.1.11.

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 · high confidence

Deserialization of untrusted data in the ThemeGoods Grand Wedding WordPress theme allows PHP object injection. Attackers can craft malicious serialized payloads that, when processed by vulnerable deserialization logic, may instantiate arbitrary objects and potentially achieve remote code execution depending on available magic methods.

MitigationUpdate Grand Wedding theme to version 3.1.11 or later which contains the patch for the unsafe deserialization vulnerability.

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 Grand Wedding theme files
    Check wp-content/themes/ directory for a folder named 'grand-wedding', 'grand-wedding-child', or similar naming convention containing the theme
    Affected if The theme folder exists in the WordPress themes directory
  2. Find theme version number
    Open the style.css file within the Grand Wedding theme folder and look for the 'Version:' declaration in the file header comments
    Affected if Unable to locate version declaration or version number cannot be determined
  3. Compare installed version to fixed version
    Compare the discovered Version number against 3.1.11. Versions lower than 3.1.11 are vulnerable
    Affected if Installed version is below 3.1.11 (for example: 3.1.10, 3.1.9, 3.0.0, etc.)
  4. Verify theme is active
    In WordPress admin dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes to confirm Grand Wedding is the currently active theme
    Affected if Theme is installed but not actively used - still patch as it could be activated at any time

The environment is affected if the Grand Wedding theme is installed with a version number lower than 3.1.11, regardless of whether it is currently active.
