AI-suggested
A fix is available in FileRun version 2026.3.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. No alternative mitigations or temporary fixes are indicated. Since this is not a cloud service, patching the software is required to address the issue.
Description
FileRun versions prior to 2026.3.0 have a PHP object injection vulnerability in the Perms::getPerms() method. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with database write access to execute arbitrary code by injecting a serialized gadget chain into the permissions table. The vulnerability arises from incorrect options passed to unserialize(), enabling attackers to write arbitrary files such as PHP webshells to web-accessible locations.
