CVE-2021-3838

Date: November 15, 2024

DomPDF prior to 2.0.0 is vulnerable to PHAR deserialization due to a lack of checking on the protocol before passing it into the file_get_contents() function. If an attacker can upload files of any type to the server he can pass in the phar:// protocol to unserialize the uploaded file and instantiate arbitrary PHP objects. This can lead to remote code execution especially when DOMPdf is used with frameworks with documented POP chains like Laravel / vulnerable developer code.

Language: PHP
