CVE-2026-59518Network attack vector

Object injection via undisclosed deserialization flaw

Published Jul 13, 2026 · Updated Jul 13, 2026

PHP object injection in wpWax Directorist 8.8.2 and earlier allows attackers to instantiate PHP objects via crafted network input. Patchstack and the vendor changelog do not identify the deserialization call, input field, or request handler that processes the untrusted data. Patchstack lists Subscriber access while its CNA vector specifies no privileges; harmful effects require a usable PHP POP chain and include code execution, SQL injection, path traversal, or service interruption.
