CVE-2026-79362: n/a
Certain Woltlab products are affected by RCE via Cache Poisoning. WCF >= 6.1.0 until < 6.1.23 and WCF >= 6.2.0 until < 6.2.6. An authenticated low-privileged user can inject PHP into executable cache files generated by WoltLab Suite Core. Attacker-controlled data can terminate the nowdoc prematurely and inject arbitrary PHP Code.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-79362 describes a remote code execution vulnerability in WoltLab Suite Core (WCF) caused by cache poisoning. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject PHP code into cache files generated by the application. This is achieved by prematurely terminating the nowdoc syntax in the cache, allowing attacker-controlled PHP code execution. The vulnerability affects WCF versions >=6.1.0 <6.1.23 and >=6.2.0 <6.2.6.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise depending on the server configuration and privileges of the web server process.
Mitigation Recommendations
The input data does not provide explicit patch or remediation information. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is applied, restrict authenticated user privileges and monitor for suspicious activity related to cache file manipulation.
