Description

WordPress Core is vulnerable to remote code execution via a PHP gadget in version 6.4.0 and 6.4.1. This is due to there being a magic method __destruct in the WP_HTML_Token class. This makes it possible for attackers to achieve remote code execution when another deserialization/PHP Object Injection vulnerability is present on the site.
