Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-24385 is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CWE-502) in the Podlove Web Player WordPress plugin (podlove-web-player) developed by gerritvanaaken, enabling Object Injection. The issue affects all versions from n/a through 5.9.1 inclusive. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and was published on 2026-03-05T06:16:22.900.

The vulnerability can be exploited over the network by an attacker with low privileges required, such as a registered WordPress user, through a high-complexity attack that requires no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling object injection leading to severe outcomes like arbitrary code execution.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter Execution

Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

Direct RCE via unauthenticated/public deserialization in a public-facing WordPress plugin maps to T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application); resulting arbitrary code execution on the server enables T1059 (Command and Scripting Interpreter).
