GLPI is an open-source asset and IT management software package that provides ITIL Service Desk features, licenses tracking and software auditing. From 11.0.0 to before 11.0.5, an authenticated technician user can upload a malicious file and trigger its execution through an unsafe PHP instantiation. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.0.5.
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.
