wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not properly determine whether data has been serialized, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering erroneous PHP unserialize operations.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects WordPress before 3.6.1. A flaw in how WordPress detected serialized data could cause unsafe PHP unserialize handling, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. Exposure is likely limited to WordPress installations running versions before 3.6.1, including distribution-packaged WordPress noted by Debian and Fedora advisories. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete. Treat this as a high-priority legacy WordPress exposure. Any remaining pre-3.6.1 installation is obsolete and potentially exposed to remote code execution, even though active exploitation is not evidenced here. Mitigation focus: Upgrade WordPress core to 3.6.1 or later.; Apply relevant Debian or Fedora WordPress security updates where distribution packages are used.; Check current WordPress vendor guidance for any newer supported upgrade path..
