Arbitrary object instantiation via unrestricted deserialization
Published Jun 3, 2026 · Updated Jun 3, 2026
PHP object injection in Concrete CMS before 9.5.2 allows attackers to instantiate arbitrary PHP objects from stored database payloads. Workflow, Form block, and File/Set code passes serialized database values to unserialize() without restricting allowed_classes. Exploitation requires a malicious serialized payload already stored in the database; published material identifies no direct network path or specific gadget-chain outcome.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=5.0 <9.5.2
