    Details
    Remote code execution through object unserialization of a user's recent elements

    A remote code execution can be achieved  by any user by setting a well crafted user's preference.

    Impact

    An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute code on the server as the codendiadm user.
    CVSSv3 score: 8.8 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

    Exploitation

    The method User::getRecentsElements() is using unserialize() on data that can be arbitrarily manipulated by a user through the REST API leading to an object injection.

    You can find attached a proof of concept to demonstrate the vulnerability.

    References

    The CVE ID CVE-2017-7411 has been attributed to this vulnerability.

    Updating the PoC, having a usable POP chain is not necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability.

    In order to fix the issue and to ensure we do not have a similar issue elsewhere, I intend to go through the whole Tuleap codebase to remove all the unserialize() usage or at the bare minimum be fairly certain we do not unserialize data that can be arbitrarily manipulated.

    A first look show usages in:
    * User::getMostRecents() (which is the origin of the reported vulnerablity)
    * Feedback's responses
    * SimplePie library
    * PHPWiki

    A fix for the initial vulnerability is available here: gerrit #8082.
