Subscriber-level account takeover via unsafe custom-meta deserialization
Published Jul 26, 2026 · Updated Jul 26, 2026
PHP object injection in Fluent Forms Pro Add-on 6.2.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to change arbitrary user passwords. The form-prefilling path deserializes untrusted custom user or post meta without rejecting crafted PHP objects. Subscriber-level access reaches the flaw only when the User Registration or Update integration is enabled and a user-meta field is mapped; a usable POP chain permits password replacement and administrator account takeover.
