Official author notes reviewed on 2026-10-30 through version 1.5.0 did not establish an exact fixed release for this CVE. Capability/mega-menu changes do not identify object injection. This archive’s uncertainty does not establish that the current release remains vulnerable. Do not deserialize attacker-controlled input into PHP objects; enforce the intended authorization before processing it.
