[-] Vulnerable code in IPSCookie::get() method defined in /admin/sources/base/core.php
4015. static public function get($name)
4016. {
4017. // Check internal data first
4018. if ( isset( self::$_cookiesSet[ $name ] ) )
4019. {
4020. return self::$_cookiesSet[ $name ];
4021. }
4022. else if ( isset( $_COOKIE[ipsRegistry::$settings['cookie_id'].$name] ) )
4023. {
4024. $_value = $_COOKIE[ ipsRegistry::$settings['cookie_id'].$name ];
4025.
4026. if ( substr( $_value, 0, 2 ) == 'a:' )
4027. {
4028. return unserialize( stripslashes( urldecode( $_value ) ) );
4029. }
The vulnerability is caused due to this method unserialize user input passed through cookies without a proper
sanitization. The only one check is done at line 4026, where is controlled that the serialized string starts
with 'a:', but this is not sufficient to prevent a "PHP Object Injection" because an attacker may send a
serialized string which represents an array of objects. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code
via the "__destruct()" method of the "dbMain" class, which calls the "writeDebugLog" method to write debug
info into a file. PHP code may be injected only through the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] variable, for this
reason successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires short_open_tag to be enabled.
