CVE-2024-9634
CVE-2024-9634 is a critical vulnerability in the GiveWP WordPress plugin, potentially allowing remote code execution. This PHP Object Injection flaw, present in versions up to 3.16.3, stems from the deserialization of untrusted input via the give_company_name parameter. While the CVSS score is 0, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) indicates a score of 10, signifying a low risk. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this by injecting PHP Objects, and combined with a POP chain, can achieve remote code execution on the affected server. This exploit could lead to complete system compromise, data theft, or website defacement. While the SVRS score is low, organizations using GiveWP should still update to the latest version to mitigate any potential risks associated with this vulnerability. The potential for remote code execution makes this a significant concern.
Description
