Edito CMS: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-59081 is a high-severity deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Edito CMS from Edito, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.4 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with administrator privileges, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.10.2607 as the first without the flaw, so updating Edito CMS to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Edito CMS deserializes JSON data without further validation. A user (even an administrator) cannot exploit this vulnerability through the application's normal functionality. An attacker who could modify cache entries or inject them could execute code on the server. This issue was fixed in version 5.10.2607. Hotfixes for older versions (5.8) have also been released.

The underlying weakness: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.
  • When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.
  • Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.
