rConfig Core 8.0.0 before 8.2.19 and rConfig Pro before 8.4.1 contain a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that allows unauthenticated network atta

rConfig Core 8.0.0 before 8.2.19 and rConfig Pro before 8.4.1 contain a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that allows unauthenticated network attackers to execute arbitrary code by pushing a crafted serialized job onto the Redis-backed Laravel Horizon queue, which runs without authentication in affected deployments. Laravel's CallQueuedHandler unserializes the job without class restrictions, allowing attackers to instantiate the existing App\\Jobs\\TaskDownloadRun class and invoke an attacker-controlled Artisan command. Attackers can leverage the bundled laravel/tinker package to execute arbitrary PHP and operating system commands as the queue worker's user, write a persistent web shell into the web-served storage/app/public directory, and read database credentials, stored device credentials, and API tokens. Where Redis is not directly reachable, authenticated attackers can deliver the payload through the application by configuring a device target that points at the rConfig server's loopback address.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses rConfig Core, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.62%, higher than 50% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored November 10, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
