An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-1209 exists.\n\nAffected product: Ninjaforms Ninja Forms. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1209/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1209","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3qv8-hqcp-vhrh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via PHP object injection in the Ninja Forms WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"ninja_forms","vendor":"ninjaforms"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The Ninja Forms plugin before 2.9.42.1 for WordPress allows remote attackers to conduct PHP object injection attacks via crafted serialized values in a POST request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-05-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-05-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41692","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Plugin Ninja Forms 2.9.36 \u003c 2.9.42 - File Upload (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2016-05-04","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/http/wp_ninja_forms_unauthenticated_file_upload","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Ninja Forms Unauthenticated File Upload"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1209","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ninjaforms:ninja_forms","products":["ninjaforms:ninja_forms"],"type":"deserialization","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1210"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1208"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-05-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Ninja-forms \u003c 3.11.1 - Unauthenticated PHP Objection","id":"CVE-2025-9083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-18"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20981","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Ninja Forms","id":"CVE-2024-25572","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Ninja Forms \u003c 3.4.34 - Authenticated SendWP Plugin Installation and Client Secret Key Disclosure","id":"CVE-2021-24163","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-05"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress Ninja Forms plugin \u003c= 3.6.25 - Contributor+ Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-38386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via PHP object injection in the Ninja Forms WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1209/"}
