CVE-2025-32658Network attack vector

Unauthenticated object injection via unsafe deserialization

Published Apr 17, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

PHP object injection in wpWax HelpGent 2.2.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject objects through untrusted serialized data. Patchstack has not disclosed the affected endpoint, parameter, function, or operation that passes attacker-controlled data to PHP deserialization. No account is required, but code execution, SQL injection, path traversal, or service interruption requires a suitable POP chain in installed PHP classes.
