Snippet
L527: $request = wp_remote_post( → L545: $request->sections = maybe_unserialize( $request->sections );
Explanationa remote HTTP fetch (`wp_remote_*`/`curl_exec`/`file_get_contents`) is followed by `@unserialize` within the same file — classic PHP Object Injection C2 gadget used by EP and most WP supply-chain backdoors. The error-suppressed form is the tell: legit code wants to know when deserialize fails; attackers suppress so malformed gadgets do not leak.
