An issue was discovered in CMS Made Simple 2.2.8. In the module DesignManager (in the files action.admin_bulk_css.php and action.admin_bulk_template.php), with an unprivileged user with Designer permission, it is possible reach an unserialize call with a crafted value in the m1_allparms parameter, and achieve object injection.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cms_made_simple | Cmsmadesimple | * | 2.2.8 (including) |
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.
