Unauthenticated code execution via unsafe session deserialization
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
PHP object injection in ILIAS before 9.22, 10.10 and 11.3 allows remote attackers to execute code via the Shibboleth logout endpoint. The unauthenticated handler scans live session rows and calls unserialize on each stored value without restricting constructible classes. An unauthenticated LTI request can seed a session with a gadget whose destructor writes attacker-controlled content below the web root, enabling execution as the web server user.

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=0 <9.22
- Affected versionversion=10.0 <10.10
- Affected versionversion=11.0 <11.3
