CVE-2026-25614
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedBlesta 3.x through 5.x before 5.13.3 allows object injection, aka CORE-5680.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceBlesta versions 3.x through 5.x before 5.13.3 contains an object injection vulnerability (CWE-502). The application deserializes untrusted input without proper validation, potentially allowing remote attackers to instantiate arbitrary PHP objects and execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized data.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Blesta installationLocate the Blesta installation directory and look for a version file or check the composer.json / config/version.php for the installed version numberAffected if The installed version is 3.0.0 through 5.13.2 (versions before 5.13.3)
-
Confirm the exact version numberRun: cat /path/to/blesta/config/version.php or check composer.lock for the blesta package versionAffected if Version shown is less than 5.13.3
-
Identify PHP files using unserialize on user inputSearch the Blesta source code for patterns like unserialize($_POST, unserialize($_GET, unserialize($_REQUEST, or similar calls where user-supplied data is passed directly to unserialize()Affected if Any PHP files in the Blesta installation unserialize data derived from user input without sanitization
-
Check for deserialization entry pointsReview PHP application logs and HTTP access logs for requests containing serialized PHP objects in POST/GET parameters that get processed by BlestaAffected if Application processes serialized data from untrusted sources without validation
-
Verify PHP unserialize usage in Blesta coreGrep the Blesta source for 'unserialize' calls and examine whether they handle data from client requests: grep -r "unserialize" /path/to/blesta/ --include="*.php"Affected if unserialize() calls exist that process user-supplied data without prior validation or use of allowed_classes parameter
A user is affected if their Blesta installation version is 3.0.0 through 5.13.2 and the application deserializes untrusted user input via PHP's unserialize() function.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped5.13.2
Update Blesta to version 5.13.3 or later to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible, review and restrict any user-supplied data being passed to PHP unserialize() functions.
5.13.3
- Backup the Blesta database and all files before proceeding
- Download Blesta version 5.13.3 or the latest stable release from the official Blesta website (www.blesta.com)
- Extract the upgrade package to a temporary location
- Place the site in maintenance mode or ensure no users are accessing it during upgrade
- Upload the new files, overwriting the existing installation (or follow Blesta's specific upgrade documentation for your installation method)
- Run any database migration scripts if included in the upgrade package
- Clear any cached data (temporary files, opcode caches)
- Verify the installation by logging in and checking core functionality
