Command execution via attacker-controlled sort callback
Published Mar 24, 2025 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Deserialization in Yii 2 2.0.45 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through a crafted PHP object graph. SortableIterator::getIterator passes its deserialized sort property to uasort as a callback, allowing a crafted callable to dispatch a command. Exploitation requires an application-defined entry point that unserializes attacker-controlled data and then iterates the crafted object.
