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.
