Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-60213 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Whitebox-Studio Scape WordPress theme, enabling PHP Object Injection. The issue affects Scape versions from unknown initial release through 1.5.13. Published on 2025-10-22, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its potential for severe impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity. Successful exploitation via untrusted data deserialization can lead to object injection, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code, manipulate data, or cause denial of service, depending on the injected objects and server configuration.
