Description
Softaculous Virtualizor before 3.2.9 (Patch 9) and 3.0.0 contains a PHP object injection vulnerability in the billing module handler that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to supply arbitrary serialized PHP objects for deserialization by setting the act parameter to login with the from_billing_module parameter present. Attackers can pass malicious serialized data through the billing_data POST field to the unserialize() function without allowed_classes restrictions, enabling exploitation of available POP chains to achieve remote code execution as root.

AI Analysis

Impact

A PHP object injection flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to supply serialized objects that are unserialized without any class restrictions. An attacker can craft malicious serialized data for the billing_data POST field while setting the act parameter to login under from_billing_module. The flaw permits exploitation of arbitrary PHP object property chaining, resulting in remote code execution with root privileges on the host.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Softaculous Virtualizor distributions prior to version 3.2.9 (including Patch 9) and the 3.0.0 series. Users running any of these releases are susceptible to the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 9.2, indicating a high severity risk. EPSS data is not available, indicating no recent exploitation data. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers could exploit the flaw via the web interface without authentication, enumerated by the act and from_billing_module parameters, and achieve root-level code execution through available POP chains.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Softaculous Virtualizor to version 3.2.9 Patch 9 or newer.
  • If an immediate upgrade cannot be performed, disable or block access to the billing module handler through web‑server rules or by disabling the module entirely.
  • Configure PHP to reject unserialized data from untrusted sources by setting the allowed_classes option to an empty array or false within the context of the billing handler.
