Authenticated object injection via unsafe PHP deserialization
Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026
PHP object injection in MagePeople WPEvently 5.0.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject objects through serialized input. Published sources do not identify the vulnerable function or request parameter, stating only that the plugin deserializes untrusted input. Contributor-level access is required, and file deletion, sensitive-data access, or code execution additionally requires a usable POP chain from another installed plugin or theme.
