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 Repute Infosystems ARMember Premium allows Object Injection. This issue affects ARMember Premium: from n/a before 7.6.

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

PHP Object Injection vulnerability in ARMember Premium WordPress plugin versions 7.0 and below allows authenticated users with contributor-level permissions to inject malicious PHP objects through deserialization, potentially achieving remote code execution.

MitigationUpdate ARMember Premium to a version newer than 7.0. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider restricting or monitoring contributor-level user accounts until the patch can be applied.

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. Verify ARMember Premium is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins, locate ARMember Premium in the list, or check for the /wp-content/plugins/armember-premium/ directory, or query the wp_options table for armember-related entries
    Affected if ARMember Premium plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Check installed ARMember Premium version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, find ARMember Premium and read the version number displayed under the plugin name, or open the main plugin PHP file and locate the 'Version:' header comment, or query wp_options for version metadata
    Affected if Version is 7.0 or lower
  3. Confirm contributor-level user accounts exist
    In WordPress admin > Users > All Users, identify any users with the Contributor role, or query wp_usermeta where meta_key='wp_capabilities' and meta_value contains 'contributor'
    Affected if At least one user with contributor role exists in the system
  4. Verify ARMember Premium plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, confirm ARMember Premium shows as 'Active', or query wp_options table where option_name='active_plugins' and the option_value contains 'armember-premium'
    Affected if Plugin status is active

Environment is affected if ARMember Premium plugin versions 7.0 or below are installed, active, and at least one contributor-level user account exists in the WordPress site
