CVE-2024-1770 is a high-severity unsafe deserialization vulnerability in netweblogic Meta Tag Manager, published on 28 Mar 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Meta Tag Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.2 via deserialization of untrusted input in the get_post_data function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to inject a PHP Object. No 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.
