Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69372 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the SevenHills WordPress theme developed by AncoraThemes, which allows Object Injection. This issue affects SevenHills versions from n/a through 1.6.2. Published on 2026-02-20, 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), classifying it as critical due to its potential for severe impacts without authentication or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity. Exploitation involves providing untrusted data for deserialization, enabling object injection that could lead to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts on the affected system.
