Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-1196 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). 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-2023-1196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-1196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1196/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-1196","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mqwh-49j7-27h8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can trigger PHP object injection via unsafe deserialization, potentially leading to code execution if suitable gadgets exist.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"advanced_custom_fields","vendor":"advancedcustomfields"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Free and Pro WordPress plugins 6.x before 6.1.0 and 5.x before 5.12.5 unserialize user controllable data, which could allow users with a role of Contributor and above to perform PHP Object Injection when a suitable gadget is present.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Advanced Custom Fields - Contributor+ PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2023-1196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in uvdesk/community-skeleton","id":"CVE-2023-1197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in Kernel","id":"CVE-2023-1195"},"products":["Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)","Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro"],"published":"2023-05-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Advanced Custom Fields 5.0-5.12.2 - Unauthenticated File Upload","id":"CVE-2022-2594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Advanced Custom Fields \u003c 6.3 - Contributor+ Custom Field Access","id":"CVE-2024-4565","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Advanced Custom Fields and Advanced Custom Fields Pro","id":"CVE-2021-20865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-13"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Advanced Custom Fields / Advanced Custom Fields PRO plugins \u003c= 6.1.5 vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-30777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Secure Custom Fields \u003c 6.3.6.3 - Admin+ Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2024-9529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-15"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Advanced Custom Fields","id":"CVE-2022-23183","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-31"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-30","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can trigger PHP object injection via unsafe deserialization, potentially leading to code execution if suitable gadgets exist.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1196/"}
