Enable Media Replace 4.1.4 - 4.2.2 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection via Metadata Replacer
Impact
The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin versions 4.1.4 to 4.2.2 are vulnerable to unauthenticated PHP object injection via metadata replacer. An attacker can inject a PHP object when a user with upload access performs a media replacement. This may lead to local file inclusion of existing PHP or HTML files.

Original source description
The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.2.3 does not restrict the classes allowed when deserializing stored metadata during its media replace-and-update-links routine, allowing unauthenticated users to inject a PHP object that is instantiated when a user with upload access performs a routine media replacement, resulting in PHP Object Injection and local file inclusion of existing PHP/HTML files, which can be escalated to remote code execution where an attacker-influenced PHP or HTML file is present on the server. This is a regression of CVE-2023-4643, which was fixed in 4.1.3 and reintroduced in 4.1.4.
