Authenticated command execution via logout object deserialization
Published Sep 1, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026
PHP object injection in Cypht before 2.12.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute operating system commands through logout requests. The logout handler base64-decodes the back_query GET parameter and passes the result directly to unserialize(), allowing a crafted object graph to invoke a gadget chain. A valid account and network access to the web application are required, and commands run with the web server process's permissions.
