CVE-2026-91051 Details
Description
The EWWW Image Optimizer WordPress plugin before 8.8.0 does not prevent authenticated users with author-level permissions from storing a serialized value in a post meta field that is deserialized when the post is rendered, allowing them to perform PHP Object Injection, which can lead to remote code execution when a suitable gadget chain is present via another installed EWWW Image Optimizer WordPress plugin before 8.8.0 or .
A PHP Object Injection vulnerability has been identified in the EWWW Image Optimizer WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 8.8.0. The issue arises because the plugin does not restrict authenticated users with author-level permissions from saving serialized data in a post meta field. This data is deserialized when the post is viewed, creating an opportunity for PHP Object Injection. Such an injection could lead to remote code execution if a compatible gadget chain is available through another installed EWWW Image Optimizer WordPress plugin version prior to 8.8.0.
Users are advised to update the EWWW Image Optimizer WordPress plugin to version 8.8.0 or later.
