Title
Nexter Extension – Site Enhancements Toolkit <= 4.4.6 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection via 'nxt_unserialize_replace'
Summary
The Nexter Extension – Site Enhancements Toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.6 via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'nxt_unserialize_replace' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.

Title
PPWP – Password Protect Pages <= 1.9.18 - Authenticated (Contributor+) PHP Object Injection via post_protection_roles
Summary
The PPWP – Password Protect Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.18 via deserialization of untrusted input from the 'post_protection_roles' vulnerable parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.

[Full Disclosure] CVE-2025-69690 & CVE-2025-69691 — Authenticated RCE in Netgate pfSense CE 2.7.2 and 2.8.0
Summary
Advisory: Authenticated Remote Code Execution in pfSense CECVEs: CVE-2025-69690, CVE-2025-69691 Researcher: Nelson Adhepeau (privexploits () protonmail com) Date: February 2026 == RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE NOTICE == This advisory is published in accordance with responsible disclosure practices.  The vendor was notified on December 2, 2025, acknowledged the reports, and indicated no patches would be issued. Publication follows standard 90-day disclosure guidelines. ------------------------------------------------------------- == OVERVIEW == Two independent authenticated Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities were discovered in Netgate pfSense Community Edition. Both were reproduced on clean installations. Vendor was contacted and acknowledged the reports but classified both as expected behavior for authenticated administrators. ------------------------------------------------------------- == CVE-2025-69690 == Authenticated RCE via Unsafe Deserialization (pfSense CE 2.7.2) CVSS v3.1: 8.8 (High) Vector: AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data CWE-915: Improperly Controlled Dynamic Code Evaluation -- Description -- The pfSense configuration restore mechanism invokes unserialize() on user-controlled data without class whitelisting, input validation, or sandboxing. A crafted backup file containing a malicious serialized PHP object can inject arbitrary commands via the post_reboot_commands property, executed through mwexec() with full root privileges. -- Affected Component -- backup/restore mechanism, config.php, pfsense_module_installer class, unserialize() handling -- Attack Vector -- 1. Attacker authenticates as administrator 2. Uploads malicious configuration backup file 3. Triggers restore operation 4. pfSense unserializes attacker-controlled data 5. Commands execute as root via mwexec() -- PoC Payload -- O:23:"pfsense_module_installer":1:{   s:17:"*post_reboot_commands";   a:1:{i:0;s:40:"/usr/local/bin/php -r 'system(\"id\");'";}} -- Impact -- - Arbitrary command execution as root - Persistent compromise - Complete firewall takeover - Credential and configuration exfiltration -- Vendor Response -- Netgate acknowledged the report. Classified as "authenticated administrative abuse". No patch issued. Vendor does not assign CVEs directly. ------------------------------------------------------------- == CVE-2025-69691 == Authenticated RCE via XMLRPC exec_php (pfSense CE 2.8.0) CVSS v3.1: 9.9 (Critical) Vector: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H CWE-284: Improper Access Control CWE-915: Improperly Controlled Dynamic Code Evaluation -- Description -- pfSense CE 2.8.0 exposes an XMLRPC API method pfsense.exec_php that executes arbitrary PHP code as root without validation, sandboxing, or restrictions. The endpoint is enabled by default, accessible over HTTPS via Basic Authentication, and executes supplied code immediately with full system privileges. Default credentials (admin:pfsense) are widely deployed, significantly lowering the exploitation barrier. -- Affected Component -- xmlrpc.php, pfsense.exec_php method, XMLRPC API handler, BasicAuth authentication layer -- Attack Vector -- curl -k -u admin:pfsense \   -d '<methodCall>     <methodName>pfsense.exec_php</methodName>     <params><param><value><string>       system("id");     </string></value></param></params>   </methodCall>' \   https://<target>/xmlrpc.php -- Impact -- - Full remote root compromise - Arbitrary file read/write - Backdoor deployment - Firewall rule manipulation - Extraction of secrets and configurations -- Vendor Response -- Netgate acknowledged the report. Classified as expected behavior for authenticated users. No patch in pfSense CE 2.8.0. Still exploitable as of latest version at time of disclosure. ------------------------------------------------------------- == TIMELINE == - November 2025: Vulnerabilities discovered - December 2, 2025: Initial report sent to Netgate - Netgate acknowledged, no patch planned - January 28, 2026: CVEs assigned by MITRE - February 2026: Public disclosure ------------------------------------------------------------- == REFERENCES == CVE-2025-69690: https://cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-69690 CVE-2025-69691: https://cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-69691 Researcher: https://github.com/privlabs https://linkedin.com/in/nelson-adhepeau ------------------------------------------------------------- Nelson Adhepeau Independent Security Researcherprivexploits () protonmail com Envoyé avec un e-mail sécurisé Proton Mail._______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.

Mitigation
Implementation

When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation
  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
Mitigation
Implementation

Avoid having unnecessary types or gadgets (a sequence of instances and method invocations that can self-execute during the deserialization process, often found in libraries) available that can be leveraged for malicious ends. This limits the potential for unintended or unauthorized types and gadgets to be leveraged by the attacker. Add only acceptable classes to an allowlist. Note: new gadgets are constantly being discovered, so this alone is not a sufficient mitigation.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

Employ cryptography of the data or code for protection. However, it's important to note that it would still be client-side security. This is risky because if the client is compromised then the security implemented on the client (the cryptography) can be bypassed.

Mitigation MIT-29
Operation

Strategy: Firewall

Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth [REF-1481].

CAPEC-586: Object Injection

An adversary attempts to exploit an application by injecting additional, malicious content during its processing of serialized objects. Developers leverage serialization in order to convert data or state into a static, binary format for saving to disk or transferring over a network. These objects are then deserialized when needed to recover the data/state. By injecting a malformed object into a vulnerable application, an adversary can potentially compromise the application by manipulating the deserialization process. This can result in a number of unwanted outcomes, including remote code execution.
