wpstorecart: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVE-2026-84099 is a high-severity deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in wpstorecart, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected wpstorecart versions: 5.0.7 and earlier. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of wpstorecart you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
The wpstorecart WordPress plugin through 5.0.7 does not prevent direct, unauthenticated access to a bundled add-on that deserializes user-supplied input without restricting the permitted classes, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects, which may be escalated further when a suitable gadget chain is present on the site.

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.
