Summary

The Affiliate Links plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a PHP Object Injection vulnerability due to the deserialization of untrusted input during file exports. This issue affects all versions up to and including 3.0.1, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP object. While this vulnerability remains inert without the presence of a vulnerable PHP Object Injection chain from another plugin or theme, it poses a significant risk when such a chain exists. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable attackers to perform actions like deleting arbitrary files, accessing sensitive data, or executing malicious code through the compromised system.

Affected Version(s)
