Background

Pimcore is an open-source content management system (CMS) and digital experience platform (DXP) that allows users to manage and deliver digital content across multiple channels. It provides a wide range of features, including data management, asset management, e-commerce, and marketing automation. However, a vulnerability has been discovered in Pimcore versions before 5.7.1 that can lead to remote code execution.

Vulnerability Detail

The vulnerability in Pimcore arises from a flaw in the unserialize function when handling untrusted values in the data parameter of the bundles/AdminBundle/Controller/Admin/DataObject/ClassController.php file. An attacker with classes permission can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted POST request to admin/class/bulk-commit. This can result in remote code execution, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server. The impact of this vulnerability is significant, as it can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential compromise of the entire Pimcore installation.
