Unauthenticated object injection via import_header deserialization
Published May 6, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
PHP object injection in Potenza Global Solutions PGS Core 5.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects without authentication. The import_header function deserializes untrusted request input, allowing attacker-controlled serialized PHP objects to be instantiated. Exploitation beyond object creation requires a usable POP chain supplied by another installed plugin or theme; without one, no file deletion, data retrieval, or code execution is established.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
