Description

The Flickr Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.5.2 via deserialization of untrusted input from the `pager ` parameter. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. Attackers were actively exploiting this vulnerability with the WP_Theme() class to create backdoors.
