• Aug 22, 2026PPWP – Password Protect Pages: PHP Object InjectionCVE-2026-0551 · affects up to 1.9.18 · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

  The PPWP – Password Protect Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.18 via deserialization of untrusted input from the 'post_protection_roles' vulnerable parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object.
