CVE-2026-97246
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-x62g-qgmr-chj3 ↗EUVD-2026-89910 ↗
description
ShortPixel Image Optimizer versions through 6.5.5 are affected by unsafe PHP object deserialization. An attacker with a Subscriber-level account may be able to trigger object injection through the plugin.
mitigation
Disable the plugin where untrusted users can obtain Subscriber accounts, or restrict and review those accounts until an updated release is available. Upgrade promptly when the vendor publishes a fixed version.
outcome
Upstream: a detection for this already ships elsewhere, so we didn't generate a new one. The credit goes to whoever did.
