CVE-2026-7654Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unrestricted PHP deserialization

Published Jun 5, 2026 · Updated Jun 5, 2026

PHP object injection in Admin Columns 7.0.18 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code through crafted post meta. IdsToCollection::get_ids_from_string() passes attacker-controlled metadata to unserialize() without restricting allowed_classes, enabling a bundled POP gadget chain. Contributor-level access is required, and successful exploitation runs arbitrary code as the web server user.
