Let's Play WordPress Theme: PHP Object Injection
Summary
The Let's Play WordPress theme (package playhockey) up to and including version 1.1.15 contains a deserialization flaw that allows PHP Object Injection. According to Patchstack, an unauthenticated attacker can send crafted data to manipulate how the site processes it and run harmful actions on the server. Any site running an affected version is exposed, and the exact entry point has not been published.

- Treat any site on version 1.1.15 or older as vulnerable until a fixed release is confirmed by the vendor.
- Apply the Patchstack mitigation rule or a WAF virtual patch if no fix is available.
- Restrict admin and login access, keep WordPress core and other plugins up to date, and monitor logs for suspicious requests.
- Contact ThemeREX or your web developer for a fixed version.
