Introduction The Attire theme for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software. 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. Reference: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-7435 Patching Script Usage bash remediation.sh Understanding patching script It first downloads the wp-cli utility to manage the plugins and themes. If the previous step was successful, the downloaded wp-cli utility is used to update the Attire theme. After the theme update, its version is again checked to confirm if the version update was success. If it was, then the installation is reported to be patched against CVE-2024-7435. Otherwise, the installation is reported to be vulnerable to CVE-2024-7435. Important Note: Before running the patching script, make sure to put it in the container or server containing the WordPress installation.
