CVE-2026-103039
The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2 via a Post Custom Field whose input type is List. This is due to GFFormsModel::createpost() passing the submitted value to WordPress' unrestricted global maybeunserialize() rather than the plugin's own hardened GFCommon::maybeunserialize(), which was added in 3.1.1 and passes allowedclasses => false precisely to prevent object instantiation. Where the field has a content template enabled, the submitted row reaches that call verbatim. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP object into post meta. No PHP Object Injection gadget chain is present in the plugin itself; however, if a gadget chain is present via an additional plugin or theme, it could allow the attacker to perform actions such as remote code execution. Where the custom field is mapped to the protected wppagetemplate meta key, WordPress itself supplies the chain: validatefile() accepts non-scalars, WPTheme::toString() then resolves an attacker-controlled path, and on hosts with a readable PEAR install and registerargcargv enabled this yields remote code execution.
