Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69035 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Dental Care CPT WordPress plugin (dentalcare-cpt) developed by strongholdthemes. The flaw enables Object Injection and affects the plugin from unknown initial versions through version 20.2 inclusive.

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), making it highly severe. It can be exploited remotely over the network with low complexity by an authenticated attacker possessing low privileges, without requiring user interaction. Successful exploitation grants high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution or other severe consequences typical of PHP object injection.

Mitigation guidance is provided in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/dentalcare-cpt/vulnerability/wordpress-dental-care-cpt-plugin-20-2-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-22T17:16:16.477.
