CVE-2025-3623
The Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.0.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the automator_api_decode_message() function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.0.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the automator_api_decode_message() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain allows attackers to delete arbitrary files.
