CVE-2021-21426

Magento-lts is a long-term support alternative to Magento Community Edition (CE). In magento-lts versions 19.4.12 and prior and 20.0.8 and prior, there is a vulnerability caused by the unsecured deserialization of an object. A patch in versions 19.4.13 and 20.0.9 was back ported from Zend Framework 3. The vulnerability was assigned CVE-2021-3007 in Zend Framework.

Weakness

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

Affected Software

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.
