Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a critical WordPress plugin flaw in WP Swings Coupon Referral Program before 1.8.4. An unauthenticated network attacker may be able to abuse unsafe data deserialization, which can threaten site confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Sites using this plugin should be prioritized for version verification and update.
Executive priority
Treat this as urgent where the plugin is installed. The issue is critical, remotely reachable, and unauthenticated, but urgency depends on whether your WordPress estate actually uses a vulnerable plugin version.
Technical view
CVE-2024-25100 is a CWE-502 PHP object injection issue caused by deserialization of untrusted data in Coupon Referral Program before 1.8.4. The CVSS 3.1 score is 10.0 with network access, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, changed scope, and high C/I/A impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with the WP Swings Coupon Referral Program plugin installed at a version before 1.8.4. The source bundle does not identify affected CPEs, install counts, or hosting environments.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and the sources do not state active exploitation. The unauthenticated, network-accessible CVSS profile still makes internet-facing WordPress sites a high-priority review target.
Researcher notes
Available evidence identifies the vulnerability class, affected plugin, affected range before 1.8.4, and CVSS vector. The source bundle does not provide exploit primitives, vulnerable parameters, proof-of-concept details, or confirmed exploitation telemetry.
Mitigation direction
- Update Coupon Referral Program to version 1.8.4 or later.
- If update is not possible, disable or remove the plugin.
- Check WP Swings and Patchstack guidance for current remediation details.
- Prioritize internet-facing and revenue-critical WordPress sites first.
Validation and detection
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Coupon Referral Program plugin.
- Confirm installed plugin versions are 1.8.4 or later.
- Review whether any exposed site still depends on the plugin.
- Check logs for unusual plugin-related errors or requests.

Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Deserialization of Untrusted Data represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
