———The Sunshine Photo Cart – Client Photo Gallery & Photo Proofing for Photographers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.4 via deserialization of untrusted input . This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, the attacker can store the malicious payload unauthenticated via the public favorites page and trigger deserialization by viewing any image in a non-viewable or private gallery.12h CVE-2026-1049328.0 HIG

——0runwasi facilitates running Wasm and WASI workloads managed by containerd. Prior to 0.6.1, containerd-shim-wasmtime-v1 can treat Wasmtime precompiled bytes supplied directly in an OCI image layer as a trusted artifact from the precompile-cache path and deserialize them as native code. An attacker who causes a victim to run a crafted image can bypass WebAssembly validation and execute native code in the shim zygote process, gaining the filesystem, environment, credentials, networking, and Linux syscall access available to the workload container. Downstream shims built with runwasi's containerd-shim-wasm precompile-cache API are also affected if they implement Compiler and trust executable precompiled artifacts from OCI image layers; the 0.6.1 boundary applies specifically to containerd-shim-wasmtime and does not independently certify downstream product releases. The flaw escapes the WASI sandbox to the workload container boundary, but it does not by itself bypass container isolation or provide direct host code execution. This issue is fixed in version 0.6.1.23h
