Uncanny Automator – AI + Automation for WordPress | AI Agent, AI Page Builder, Free AI Usage Included <= 7.6.1.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) PHP Object Injection to Arbitrary File Deletion

The Uncanny Automator – AI + Automation for WordPress | AI Agent, AI Page Builder, Free AI Usage Included plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 7.6.1.1 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object when a third-party integration plugin (such as PeepSo, MailPoet, WPForms, etc) is installed and a recipe is configured that stores attacker-controlled data as trigger meta. The additional presence of a POP chain within Uncanny Automator allows attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server.

An attacker needs Subscriber access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. Classes like this one can leave something behind, so the staged malware scanner is the second half: it looks for dropped files and modified code rather than for the request that created them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Uncanny Automator 7.7.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
