DescriptionNVD

The extension passes an attacker-controlled cookie directly to PHP's unserialize() without safely processing the input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can supply a crafted serialized payload to trigger PHP Object Injection, leading to Remote Code Execution on the TYPO3 server. Exploitation requires the content element to be configured with "Persistent Mode: Static" in the plugin settings.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in the TYPO3 'Content Element Selector' extension allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by sending a crafted cookie that the extension feeds directly into PHP's unserialize(). The flaw (CWE-502, CVSS 4.0 score 9.2) is exploitable only on installations where a content element is configured with 'Persistent Mode: Static'. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Enumerate all TYPO3 instances with 'Content Element Selector' extension active, identify those configured with 'Persistent Mode: Static', and disable the extension if business impact permits; engage WAF team to begin rule development. Within 7 days: Deploy WAF rules blocking HTTP cookies containing PHP serialization signatures; parse web logs for exploitation attempts (look for suspicious cookie patterns); implement intrusion detection signatures for unserialize() attacks. …
