Deserialization in Filerun
CVE-2026-73699
FileRun before 2026.3.0 contains a PHP object injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting incorrect options passed to unserialize() in the Perms::getPerms() method, where a positional array is used instead of the required named-key array to disable class instantiation.
