AI risk analysis

Summary
The flaw is a PHP object injection vulnerability in MaxSite CMS that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by passing malicious serialized data through the maxsite_comuser cookie. This matters because it can lead to full system compromise without authentication.
Exploitability
Exploitation requires crafting a specific malicious payload and sending it via an HTTP request, which is moderately difficult but feasible given public exploit references.
Blast radius
If exploited, this could result in complete control over the affected server or network, with potential impact ranging from data theft to full system compromise.
Prioritized remediation
Update MaxSite CMS to a patched version immediately and validate all user inputs, especially those involving serialized data.

NVD description

MaxSite CMS contains a PHP object injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by passing attacker-controlled serialized data in the maxsite_comuser cookie directly to unserialize() without validation or class allowlisting. Attackers can craft a malicious serialized PHP object payload delivered in a single HTTP request to trigger magic methods during object graph reconstruction, enabling property-oriented programming attacks or remote code execution via available gadget chains such as those targeting SoapClient or Imagick extensions.
