AI-suggested
A fix is available in saloonphp saloon version 4.0.0, which removes unsafe PHP serialization from the AccessTokenAuthenticator class. Users should upgrade to version 4.0.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. There are no vendor advisories indicating alternative mitigations or that no action is required.
Description
CVE-2026-33942 is a high-severity vulnerability in the saloonphp saloon PHP library versions prior to 4.0.0. It involves unsafe deserialization of untrusted data in the AccessTokenAuthenticator::unserialize() method, which uses PHP's unserialize() with allowed_classes set to true. An attacker controlling the serialized input can inject malicious objects that trigger PHP magic methods, potentially leading to remote code execution when combined with common dependencies like Monolog. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4.0.0 by removing PHP serialization from the affected class.
