CVE CVE-2024-3591

Researcher fuyoumingyan
Description

The Geo Controller plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.4 via deserialization of untrusted input supplied via the '/cache/shortcode' REST API route. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. 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. CVE-2024-30227 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
