CVE-2026-34838
Group-Office: Authenticated Remote Code Execution via PHP Insecure Deserialization in `AbstractSettingsCollection`
CVE-2026-34838 is a critical vulnerability (CVSS 10.0) in Intermesh Group-office, published April 2, 2026. Public exploit code exists. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 1.04%, the 64th percentile. No source names a fixed version.
Group-Office is an enterprise customer relationship management and groupware tool. Prior to versions 6.8.156, 25.0.90, and 26.0.12, a vulnerability in the AbstractSettingsCollection model leads to insecure deserialization when these settings are loaded. By injecting a serialized FileCookieJar object into a setting string, an authenticated attacker can achieve Arbitrary File Write, leading directly to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the server. This issue has been patched in versions 6.8.156, 25.0.90, and 26.0.12.
