WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Tabs for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress contains a PHP Object Injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-13831) affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.0. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on February 28, 2025, impacting the WordPress plugin ecosystem (NVD CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the 'producthascustom_tabs' function where untrusted input is deserialized, leading to potential PHP Object Injection. The issue is classified as CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data).

Impact

While the vulnerability itself requires a POP chain to be exploitable, when combined with other plugins or themes containing such a chain, it could allow attackers to perform critical actions including deletion of arbitrary files, retrieval of sensitive data, or code execution. The impact is limited to installations where additional plugins or themes with compatible POP chains are present (NVD CVE).

Mitigation and workarounds
