id: CVE-2023-25135

info:
  name: vBulletin <= 5.6.9 - Pre-authentication Remote Code Execution
  author: iamnoooob,rootxharsh,pdresearch
  severity: critical
  description: |
    vBulletin before 5.6.9 PL1 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request that triggers deserialization. This occurs because verify_serialized checks that a value is serialized by calling unserialize and then checking for errors.
  remediation: Upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
