Official description
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via deserialization of the 'post_content' of admin_form posts in all versions up to, and including, 3.28.31. This is due to the use of WordPress's `maybe_unserialize()` function without class restrictions on user-controllable content stored in admin_form post content. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain allows attackers to achieve remote code execution.

The underlying weakness: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.
- When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.
- Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.
