Cotonti 1.0.0 passes the base64-decoded cb parameter to unserialize() without allowed_classes restriction in the comments plugin EditAction. Registered users with comment write permissions can instantiate arbitrary PHP objects and potentially achieve file write or code execution through gadget chains.
CVE-2026-93872
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
