Summary

Roundcube Webmail from 1.6.0 before 1.6.20 and from 1.7.0 before 1.7.5 mishandles session keys that start with "!" in rcube_session::unserialize(), which is a deserialization flaw (CWE-502). The malformed session data desynchronizes parsing so that following session data is read as a serialized PHP value, enabling PHP object injection. A remote attacker without privileges can exploit it under high complexity if the attacker can influence stored session data.

Description from the CNA

Roundcube Webmail before 1.6.20 and 1.7.x before 1.7.5 contains an object injection primitive in rcube_session::unserialize(). A session key prefixed with “!” was treated as having no value, and the reconstructed serialized string was emitted with a key but no corresponding value, desynchronizing the remainder of the input so that following session data was interpreted as a serialized value. This yields a PHP object injection primitive for an attacker able to influence stored session data. Upstream fixed this in the commit “Fix object injection primitive in rcube_session::unserialize() via “!”-prefixed session keys”, which rejects such keys.
