Askka theme versions up to 1.3.1 are vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via deserialization of untrusted data, potentially leading to code execution.
Vulnerability
Elated-Themes Askka versions up to and including 1.3.1 are affected by a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability that allows for Object Injection. This vulnerability exists in the theme's PHP code.
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending serialized data to the application, which, if a suitable POP chain is present, can lead to the injection of malicious objects. This requires the attacker to be able to interact with the vulnerable component of the theme.
Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to achieve various malicious outcomes, including code injection, SQL injection, path traversal, and denial of service. The exact impact depends on the presence of a proper POP chain.
Mitigation
Update to Askka theme version 1.4 or later to resolve this vulnerability. If an immediate update is not possible, consult your hosting provider or web developer for assistance. Patchstack has issued a mitigation rule to block attacks until a patched version is installed [1].
