PHPMemcachedAdmin 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via vectors related serialized data and the last part of the concatenated filename, which creates a file in webroot.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
