CVE-2022-35223
Overview
This vulnerability is a deserialization flaw located in the cookie deserialization function of EasyUse MailHunter Ultimate. The root cause is inadequate validation of serialized data within cookies, allowing maliciously crafted payloads to bypass integrity checks. The affected component is the cookie handling mechanism responsible for deserializing user-supplied data without proper verification.
Vulnerability Description
EasyUse MailHunter Ultimate’s cookie deserialization function has an inadequate validation vulnerability. Deserializing a cookie containing malicious payload will trigger this insecure deserialization vulnerability, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, manipulate system command or interrupt service.
Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, manipulate system commands, or cause denial of service by sending a specially crafted cookie to the vulnerable application. No user interaction or privileges are required to trigger the flaw, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). This can result in full system compromise, data manipulation, or service interruption, severely impacting business operations and data confidentiality.
Solution
According to the advisory published by TWCert (https://www.twcert.org.tw/tw/cp-132-6365-b056c-1.html) and CHTSecurity, users of EasyUse MailHunter Ultimate should apply the vendor-released patches addressing the deserialization vulnerability. Specific version updates or patch identifiers are detailed in the vendor's security bulletin. It is recommended to follow the official remediation instructions provided in these advisories to ensure the deserialization validation is properly enforced and the vulnerability is mitigated.
