CVE-2026-3296

Description

The Everest Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.3 via deserialization of untrusted input from form entry metadata. This is due to the html-admin-page-entries-view.php file calling PHP's native unserialize() on stored entry meta values without passing the allowed_classes parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a serialized PHP object payload through any public Everest Forms form field. The payload survives sanitize_text_field() sanitization (serialization control characters are not stripped) and is stored in the wp_evf_entrymeta database table. When an administrator views entries or views an individual entry, the unsafe unserialize() call processes the stored data without class restrictions.

python
<?php // PoC Generator for CVE-2026-3296 // Generates a serialized payload to test for PHP Object Injection. class Test_Payload { public function __wakeup() { // In a real scenario, this would be a destructive action // e.g., system('rm -rf /'); file_put_contents('/tmp/poc.txt', 'CVE-2026-3296 Executed'); } } $payload = serialize(new Test_Payload()); echo "Payload to inject into Everest Forms field:\n"; echo $payload . "\n"; ?>
