CVE-2024-3954: Metaphorcreations Ditty – Responsive News Tickers, Sliders, And Lists

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Ditty plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to 3.1.38 via deserialization of untrusted input when adding a new ditty. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. 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.
