An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-53242 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: VictorThemes Seil. 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-2025-53242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53242/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53242","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xg8f-g55r-6q3h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit unsafe deserialization in the Seil WordPress theme to potentially execute arbitrary code on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in VictorThemes Seil seil allows Object Injection.This issue affects Seil: from n/a through \u003c= 1.7.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Seil Theme \u003c= 1.7.1 - Deserialization of untrusted data Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Deserialization in Employee Directory – Staff Listing \u0026 Team Directory Plugin for WordPress","id":"CVE-2025-53243"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Simplified plugin \u003c= 1.0.11 - Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53241"},"products":["Seil"],"published":"2025-11-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["VictorThemes"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit unsafe deserialization in the Seil WordPress theme to potentially execute arbitrary code on the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53242/"}
