What is CVE-2025-1657?

The uListing plugin for WordPress is susceptible to vulnerabilities that allow authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to alter post meta data. This occurs due to a lack of capability checks on the stm_listing_ajax AJAX action, enabling PHP Object Injection attacks, where malicious PHP objects can be injected and unserialized.
