Published Aug 4, 2026
·
Updated

MaxSite CMS contains a PHP object injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by passing attacker-controlled serialized data in the maxsitecomuser cookie directly to unserialize() without validation or class allowlisting. Attackers can craft a malicious serialized PHP object payload delivered in a single HTTP request to trigger magic methods during object graph reconstruction, enabling property-oriented programming attacks or remote code execution via available gadget chains such as those targeting SoapClient or Imagick extensions.
