Technical description

The Feed Them Social – for Twitter feed, Youtube and more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted input via the 'fts_url' parameter in versions up to, and including 2.9.8.5.

It also requires that the attacker is successful in uploading a file with the serialized payload.
