Unauthenticated code execution via arbitrary class instantiation
Published Jun 27, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Arbitrary object instantiation in LDAP Account Manager before 8.0 allows remote attackers to execute code through unauthenticated requests. The help.php route passes attacker-controlled module and scope values through moduleCache::getModule, which executes new $name($scope) without restricting the class. The demonstrated path requires the Imagick PHP extension and a writable web-accessible location, granting execution as the web-server account.
