Concrete CMS below 9.5.2 is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection via unserialize() calls in the Workflow, Form block, and File/Set components that lack the allowed_classes restriction. An unauthenticated attacker may trigger arbitrary PHP object instantiation if a malicious serialized payload has been placed in the database. Thanks XananasX7 and Sanjorn Keeratirungsan (dizconnect) for both independently reporting. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 8.4 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.
AnalysisAI
PHP object injection in Concrete CMS versions below 9.5.2 allows authenticated high-privileged attackers to trigger arbitrary PHP object instantiation through unsafe unserialize() calls in the Workflow, Form block, and File/Set components. The vulnerability requires a malicious serialized payload to be placed in the database beforehand, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires (1) the attacker to have a means of writing a crafted serialized payload into the Concrete CMS database - typically high-privilege editorial/admin access (PR:H in the vector) or a chained injection vulnerability - and (2) the vulnerable site to use the Workflow component, Form block, or File/Set component that subsequently deserializes that database value. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H paints a mixed picture: local attack vector and high privileges required substantially limit reach, but full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable component justify the 8.4 score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker first uses a separate primitive - for example a compromised editor account or a stored injection bug - to write a crafted serialized PHP object string into a Workflow, Form block, or File/Set database row. When the application subsequently retrieves and deserializes that row via the unrestricted unserialize() call, PHP instantiates the attacker-chosen class and fires its magic methods, executing a POP gadget chain that yields arbitrary code execution in the web server context. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.2 or later, which adds the allowed_classes restriction to the affected unserialize() call sites; release notes are at https://documentation.concretecms.org/9-x/developers/introduction/version-history/952-release-notes. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Inventory all Concrete CMS deployments and identify versions below 9.5.2; restrict administrative access to workflow, form block, and file/set management to essential personnel only. …
