Description
mapfish-print is a component of MapFish for printing templated cartographic maps. Prior to 3.28.30, 3.30.32, 3.31.24, 3.33.16, and 4.0.5, MapFish Print accepts an attacker-controlled GML layer url in requests to the /api/print3/print endpoint and fetches XML parsed by core/src/main/java/org/mapfish/print/map/geotools/GmlLayer.java without disabling external entities and external DTDs. A remote XML document and DTD can expand a local file entity, and the resulting content can be exposed through the GML parsing and error path. This allows unauthenticated attackers to read files such as operating-system account data, Kubernetes service-account tokens, and certificates. Replacing the file entity target with an internal HTTP endpoint also permits server-side request forgery. This issue is fixed in versions 3.28.30, 3.30.32, 3.31.24, 3.33.16, and 4.0.5.

Description Summary:
A PHP Object Injection vulnerability exists in the Buddyboss Platform plugin that may allow unauthenticated or low-privileged attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Executive Summary:
A critical PHP Object Injection vulnerability in the Buddyboss Platform plugin allows for potential remote code execution by malicious actors.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-56032
Affected Software: BuddyBoss Buddyboss Platform
Affected Versions: <= 3.0.4
Vulnerability: This vulnerability involves a PHP Object Injection flaw within the platform's processing logic. An attacker can inject malicious serialized objects, which, when deserialized by the application, can lead to arbitrary code execution or other malicious actions depending on the available gadget chains.
Business Impact
The CVSS score of 9.8 reflects the high probability of full system compromise. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive site data, complete site takeover, and potential lateral movement within the hosting environment, resulting in significant reputational and operational damage.
Remediation Plan
Immediate Action: Update the Buddyboss Platform plugin to the latest available version immediately to patch the insecure deserialization flaw.
Proactive Monitoring: Monitor server access logs for suspicious serialized string patterns or anomalous POST requests targeting the Buddyboss plugin endpoints.
Compensating Controls: Implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules designed to detect and block malicious serialized PHP objects in HTTP requests.
Exploitation Status
Public Exploit Available: Unknown
Analyst Notes: As of Jun 26, 2026, there is no public information indicating active exploitation of this vulnerability. However, due to the nature of the flaw, the potential for exploitation is high.
Analyst Recommendation
Given the critical nature of PHP Object Injection vulnerabilities, organizations must prioritize patching this plugin. Failure to update may allow unauthenticated attackers to gain complete control over the WordPress instance; therefore, immediate remediation is required to maintain the security posture of the application.
