CVE-2026-97865: Open-Web-Analytics unsafe deserialization in Remote Event Queue

CVE-2026-97865 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-09-25

Open-Web-Analytics is a web analytics platform that collects usage data from websites. A vulnerability in its Remote Event Queue endpoint allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate event data and queue bookkeeping fields through unsanitized input. While not remote code execution, this could lead to queue state corruption and potential privilege escalation if the endpoint is enabled.

Technical details

The Event::loadFromArray function in queue.php accepts and deserializes untrusted input from HTTP requests without validation, copying arbitrary properties into queue objects. This allows remote unauthenticated attackers to modify internal queue state and event properties intended to be set only by the local system. The vulnerability requires the remote event queue endpoint to be explicitly enabled (it ships disabled by default).
