What to do about this

Patch immediately Serious, and reachable without meaningful privilege.

Fix it

Update FundEngine to the latest available version.

Where the vendor has not published a fix yet, disable the plugin until they do.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.

Am I affected by this vulnerability?

How do I fix it?

Update FundEngine to the latest available version. Where the vendor has not yet published a fix, remove or disable the plugin until they do. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

What can an attacker actually do?

This is a PHP Object Injection flaw. An attacker who exploits it can construct objects the application never intended, often reaching code execution.

WordPress security that blocks attacks before they land.
