CVE-2026-59192cakephp twig-view deserialization of untrusted data
CVE-2026-59192 is a deserialization of untrusted data in cakephp twig-view, rated medium (6.9 on CVSS 4.0).
Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Serialized objects from outside are turned back into live objects, which a crafted payload can abuse to run code.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker turn crafted data into code execution inside the receiving service.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade cakephp twig-view to a fixed version for your release line (1.3.3, 2.1.2).
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
TwigView plugin for CakePHP provides wrappers for common View operations and extensions that expose CakePHP functions and jasny/twig-extensions helpers. Prior to versions 1.3.3 and 2.1.2, the unserialize filter has no restriction on which classes are allowed. This can used as a deserialization remote-code-execution gadget. This issue has been patched in versions 1.3.3 and 2.1.2.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- APIs, queues and caches that accept serialized objects. The flaw sits between a message producer and the service that deserializes it.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between a message producer and the service that deserializes it. An attacker who crosses it can turn crafted data into code execution inside the receiving service.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does cakephp twig-view run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
