CVE-2024-24725

Gibbon through 26.0.00 allows remote authenticated users to conduct PHP deserialization attacks via columnOrder in a POST request to the modules/System%20Admin/import_run.php&type=externalAssessment&step=4 URI.

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.
