Overview
A deserialization vulnerability has been identified in ThinkPHP versions 6.1.3 to 8.0.4. This critical security flaw was disclosed on September 9, 2024, and has been assigned CVE-2024-44902. The vulnerability affects all installations of ThinkPHP between these versions and allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems (NVD, MITRE).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. The vulnerability specifically requires the ThinkPHP framework to have the Memcached extension installed to be exploitable. The issue is related to unsafe deserialization of data, which is classified under CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) (NVD, GitHub POC).
Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
