CVE-2026-24978
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 NooTheme Jobica Core jobica-core allows Object Injection.This issue affects Jobica Core: from n/a through <= 1.4.1.
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 confidenceA deserialization vulnerability in NooTheme Jobica Core (versions <= 1.4.1) allows attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects by supplying untrusted serialized data, potentially leading to remote code execution through PHP object injection techniques.

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 Jobica Core versionCheck the theme version in the style.css file (typically in wp-content/themes/jobica-core/) or in any version.php file within the theme folder; the version is usually declared in the theme header commentAffected if the installed version is 1.4.1 or lower
-
Locate unserialize() calls in theme codeSearch the Jobica Core theme directory for PHP files containing 'unserialize(' - use grep or a code search tool across all .php files in the theme folderAffected if any unserialize() call is found that processes input without prior validation
-
Check if unserialize processes external inputFor each unserialize() call found, trace the data source back to determine if it originates from user-controlled variables such as $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_REQUEST, or database fields that could be manipulatedAffected if unserialize() is called on data that originates from any user-supplied source without sanitization
-
Identify PHP object injection entry pointsReview form handlers, AJAX endpoints, and any API functions within the theme that accept and process serialized data from requestsAffected if the theme accepts and deserializes serialized data from unauthenticated or authenticated user requests
You are affected if Jobica Core version is 1.4.1 or lower AND the theme code contains unserialize() calls that process user-controlled input without validation.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched version of Jobica Core. If immediate patching is unavailable, audit the codebase for insecure unserialize() calls on user-controlled input and replace with safe alternatives like JSON decoding, while implementing strict input validation.
