Uncanny Automator - Security Vulnerability (CVE-2026-82627)

Q: Am I affected by this vulnerability?

You are affected if your site runs Uncanny Automator.

Q: How do I fix it?

Update Uncanny Automator to the latest available version. Where the vendor has not yet published a fix, remove or disable the plugin until they do. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

Q: What can an attacker actually do?

This is a PHP Object Injection flaw. An attacker who exploits it can construct objects the application never intended, often reaching code execution.

Vulnerability CVE-2026-82627 PLUGIN uncanny-automator HIGH

The Uncanny Automator – AI + Automation for WordPress | AI Agent, AI Page Builder, Free AI Usage Included plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 7.6.1.1 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object when a third-party integration plugin (such as PeepSo, MailPoet, WPForms, etc) is installed and a recipe is configured that stores attacker-controlled data as trigger meta. The additional presence of a POP chain within Uncanny Automator allows attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server.

What to do about this

Patch promptly The consequence is significant even where an attacker needs a foothold first.

Fix it

Update Uncanny Automator to the latest available version.

Where the vendor has not published a fix yet, disable the plugin until they do.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.
