Summary

CVE-2024-10828 is a high-severity Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) vulnerability in Algolplus Advanced Order Export For Woocommerce. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 30% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The Advanced Order Export For WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to and including 3.5.5. The flaw stems from unsafe deserialization of untrusted input during order export when the "Try to convert serialized values" option is enabled, corresponding to CWE-502. This affects the plugin's core extraction and XML handling components.

Unauthenticated attackers can supply malicious serialized data over the network to inject arbitrary PHP objects. When a suitable POP chain is present, this enables deletion of arbitrary server files, which can be leveraged for remote code execution by targeting files such as wp-config.php. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflecting high complexity but no required authentication or user interaction.

The current and peak EPSS score stands at 0.3552 with no material upward trajectory after disclosure. Available references include Wordfence threat intelligence and direct links to the plugin's XMLWriter and extractor code but contain no explicit statements on patches or mitigation steps.

enabled. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain allows attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can uncover deserialization flaws before deployment.

Input validation directly stops deserialization of untrusted data by ensuring inputs are valid before processing.

Engineering principles such as safe deserialization and input sanitization structurally prevent the weakness from being introduced.

Integrity verification tools can detect malformed or tampered serialized data after the fact.

PR.PS-02 none match
prevents

PR.PS-02 addresses only post-deployment updates/patching and cannot prevent introduction of unsafe deserialization code, yet it can remediate some instances when the flaw exists in outdated libraries or components.

finds

Security testing includes validation of deserialization routines and the use of untrusted data, reducing the likelihood that unsafe object reconstruction will be deployed.

prevents

Requiring vetted libraries, regular updates and SAST before release reduces the likelihood that deserialization logic will accept and act on attacker-controlled serialized objects.

finds

Regular scanning of third-party libraries and timely patching reduce the likelihood that unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities remain active.

none

Mandatory malware scanning of data received over networks or storage media intercepts malicious serialized payloads before they are deserialized by the target application.
