Project: Formatter Field [1]
Date: 2026-June-17
Security risk: *Critical* 19 ∕ 25
AC:None/A:User/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: PHP object injection

Affected versions: <2.0.0
CVE IDs: CVE-2026-12535
Description: 
The Formatter Field module provides a mechanism for specifying a formatter
and formatter settings to be used for displaying a field, on a per-entity
basis.

formatter_field stores some data as PHP-serialized strings. In some
situations, malicious data can be written directly to the field. This can
lead to an Object Injection vulnerability when the data are unserialized.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have
permission to edit a content entity with an attached formatter_field field.
In addition, the core JSON:API module must be enabled with the option "Accept
all JSON:API create, read, update, and delete operations", which is not the
default, or the attacker needs some other way to edit field values directly.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

 * If you use the Formatter Field module, upgrade to Formatter Field 2.0.0
   [3].
