YITH WooCommerce Product Add-Ons <= 4.3.0 - Authenticated(Shop Manager+) PHP Object Injection

The YITH WooCommerce Product Add-Ons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to 4.3.1 (exclusive) via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'save_addon' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.

An attacker needs Shop Manager 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: YITH WooCommerce Product Add-Ons 4.3.1 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
