AC:H and PR:H because exploitation requires prior out-of-band database write access, a high-privilege prerequisite; full C/I/A loss follows from arbitrary PHP eval execution.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
e107 prior to version 2.3.8 contains a code execution vulnerability in the e_array deserialization handler that allows an attacker with out-of-band database write access to execute arbitrary PHP code by storing a crafted payload in the user_prefs column. The e_array::unserialize() function in e107_handlers/core_functions.php performs only a prefix check for the string 'array' before passing the stored value to eval(), causing automatic PHP execution whenever the affected user's preferences are materialized through e_user_pref::load().
AnalysisAI
Second-order PHP code execution in e107 CMS before version 2.3.8 lets an attacker who already holds out-of-band write access to the database plant a crafted payload in the user_prefs column, which is later fed to eval() when that user's preferences load. The e_array::unserialize() handler validates only that the stored string begins with 'array' before evaluating it, so any account whose preferences are materialized triggers arbitrary PHP execution. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires out-of-band write access to the e107 database, specifically the ability to store a crafted value in the user_prefs column of a user record; the payload must begin with the string 'array' to pass e_array::unserialize()'s prefix check. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 4.0 score is 7.7 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained database write access - for example by chaining a separate SQL injection or reusing leaked DB credentials - stores a serialized 'array'-prefixed string containing malicious PHP in a target user's user_prefs column. The next time that user's preferences are materialized via e_user_pref::load(), e_array::unserialize() passes the payload to eval() and the PHP runs in the web application context. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to e107 2.3.8 or later, which contains the vendor fix referenced in commit 40e73cefde85b32e1227dfac9956a5cb87046277 (Patch available per vendor advisory; see GHSA-568x-w5qj-vr7c). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all e107 CMS instances running versions before 2.3.8, audit database access logs for unauthorized writes, and verify database security controls. …
