CVE-2026-59518 is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in the wpWax Directorist WordPress plugin. Affected versions through 8.8.2 improperly deserialize attacker-controlled data, enabling PHP object injection. In PHP applications, object injection can allow an attacker to instantiate unexpected objects and trigger magic methods during deserialization or object lifecycle handling. The ultimate impact depends on the availability of usable gadget chains within the plugin, WordPress, or other installed components, but the vulnerability is rated as network-exploitable with no privileges or user interaction required.
