Authenticated object injection via unsafe duration parsing
Published Mar 5, 2026 · Updated Mar 5, 2026
PHP object injection in Podlove Web Player 5.9.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject objects through crafted duration data. The duration parser deserializes attacker-controlled input without ensuring that the resulting PHP object is safe; public sources do not identify the function or complete data path. Contributor-level WordPress access and a suitable POP chain are required, after which object side effects can compromise site data or interrupt service.
