Technical details

A PHAR (PHP Archive) deserialization vulnerability exists within the theme import functionality (/themes/import) of PrestaShop v8.2.0. The flaw is triggered when the application improperly handles untrusted data during a POST request, leading to insecure deserialization. An attacker can leverage this to achieve remote code execution (RCE) or command injection (CWE-77). The vulnerability is reachable over the network without requiring specific user interaction, though the CVSS assessment suggests limited impact on confidentiality and integrity despite the potential for code execution. A proof-of-concept exploit has been identified in third-party repositories.
