How severe is CVE-2026-7888?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-7888 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-7888?

CVE-2026-7888 affects the following packages: concrete5/concrete5 (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix CVE-2026-7888?

Update concrete5/concrete5 to 9.5.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-7888 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-7888 in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for concrete5/concrete5, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-7888 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-7888?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-7888 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-7888 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-7888 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-7888?

CVE-2026-7888 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 30th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-7888?

CVE-2026-7888 is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2026-7888 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-7888 was published on June 3, 2026 and was last updated on September 13, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Concrete CMS below 9.5.3 is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via unserialize() calls in the Workflow, Form block, and File/Set components that lack the allowed_classes restriction. The Form block and File/Set sinks were addressed in 9.5.2; the Workflow component sinks were addressed in 9.5.3. An unauthenticated attacker may trigger arbitrary PHP object instantiation if a malicious serialized payload has been placed in the database. Thanks XananasX7 and Sanjorn Keeratirungsan (dizconnect) for independently reporting the original components, and sh4d0byss for reporting the Workflow component wasn't fixed in 9.5.2. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 8.4 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/ VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.
