Everest Forms permits unauthenticated PHP object injection
Everest Forms through 3.6.0 permits PHP object injection without authentication. The CNA vector requires no privileges or user interaction and rates confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as high. The authoritative export does not identify the endpoint, parameter, deserialization operation, usable gadget chain, or the exact post-injection effect.

3.6.1- Published
- Sep 11, 2026
This CVE was published Sep 11, 2026 and is one of 24 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Everest Forms to 3.6.1 or later. The authoritative affected data explicitly marks 3.6.1 unaffected. The application-level fix must prevent untrusted serialized data from reaching PHP deserialization and should use a constrained non-object data format for client-controlled values.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
