Technical details
Concrete CMS versions prior to 9.5.2 contain a PHP Object Injection vulnerability (CWE-502) due to the insecure use of the unserialize() function. The affected components—Workflow, Form block, and File/Set—fail to implement the 'allowed_classes' restriction, allowing for the instantiation of arbitrary PHP objects. While the attack vector is listed as local with high privileges required in CVSS metrics, the advisory notes that an unauthenticated attacker could trigger the injection if a malicious serialized payload is successfully placed in the database. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution depending on available gadget chains. The issue is resolved in version 9.5.2.
