CRITICAL CVE-2026-66568 Deferred

Original: Code execution

An unauthenticated caller can reach deserialization of attacker-controlled data, allowing it to be interpreted as PHP objects. The export does not disclose the endpoint, parameter, deserialization function or a usable gadget chain. File access or code execution depends on reachable application classes and behavior; a complete code-execution chain is not established. Affected versions: <= 1.9.0. The official changelog confirms 1.10.0 as the remediation release based on the matching flaw and version boundary.

CWE-502 — Deserialization of Untrusted Data

This CVE was published Oct 10, 2026 and is one of 1 known issue for this theme.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update to 1.10.0 or a later supported release. Application-level remediation: Replace untrusted serialized objects with a data-only format. If deserialization is unavoidable, disable object instantiation and validate the resulting data structure before use. Official changelog: https://themeforest.net/item/original-illustrator-artist-portfolio-wordpress-theme/54190429.

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.
