Vulnerability Overview

The bbPress Move Topics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.1.4 via deserialization of untrusted input via the 'aforums_move_topics_page()' function where it passes the decoded 'allforums' value through the 'unserialize()' function. This allows authenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.1.6, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
