# Gamic WordPress theme: unauthenticated PHP object injection lets attackers run code

Gamic versions 1.19 and earlier contain an unauthenticated PHP object injection flaw. An attacker who sends a crafted request can inject a PHP object that may lead to code execution on the server.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- wordpress-theme:Gamic - Gaming Metaverse Game & Crypto WordPress Theme (ThemeREX) affected <= 1.19 fixed ?

## How to check

- WordPress admin > Appearance > Themes: look for 'Gamic - Gaming Metaverse Game & Crypto' (active or inactive) and its version; or read 'Version:' in wp-content/themes/gamic/style.css
- Version 1.19 or lower is vulnerable; inactive installed themes can still be reachable, so delete it if unused
- WP-CLI: wp theme list

## Timeline

- 2026-10-29T16:26:00+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-62016
- 2026-10-29T16:28:13+00:00 analyst — Theme (not plugin), <=1.19, unauth PHP object injection CWE-502; Patchstack/WPScan say no official patch, no known POP chain in Gamic itself (RCE depends on other plugins/themes). Not exploited per sources. CVSS 9.8 (Patchstack) vs 8.1 (Wordfence/WPScan). A securityonline page lists 'patched 1.19', which contradicts these and looks wrong. No vendor (ThemeREX) page found, so nothing marked verified; fix none rests on Patchstack/WPScan. Mitigation: Patchstack virtual patch rule only; otherwise remove/replace the theme.
