What happened
Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in the Meals & Wheels plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.1.13, caused by unsafe deserialization of attacker-supplied data.
Why it is dangerous: An attacker who exploits this can potentially take control of the web server or its data, which is especially serious because no account or password is required.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run the Meals & Wheels WordPress plugin, version 1.1.13 or older, on your website.
Meals & Wheels WordPress plugin, versions <= 1.1.13
What to do
- Check whether the Meals & Wheels plugin is installed and what version it is
- Update to a version newer than 1.1.13 as soon as a fixed release is available
- If no fix is available yet, deactivate and remove the plugin until it is patched
- Review the site for unexpected files, admin users, or changes
