Remote code execution via cookie-derived dynamic PHP
Published Apr 6, 2026 · Updated Apr 6, 2026
Code injection in forceworkbench Workbench before 65.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute PHP code through a crafted cookie. localizeDateTimes interpolates unchecked convertTimezone and localeDateTimeFormat cookie values into a create_function body, altering executable PHP syntax. Execution occurs when an authenticated user opens a page that formats a timestamp, exposing Workbench session data and connected Salesforce access.
