Description

The bbPress Move Topics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 1.1.4 via deserialization of untrusted input via the 'aforums_move_topics_page()' function where it passes the decoded 'allforums' value through the 'unserialize()' function. This allows authenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object.
