Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-60234 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Single Property WordPress theme developed by designthemes. The flaw enables Object Injection and affects all versions of the theme up to and including 2.8.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity. An attacker with low privileges (such as a subscriber or contributor role) can exploit it remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required, potentially resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as arbitrary code execution or full system compromise via injected objects.
