🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check the version of viames Pair Framework installed. If version is 1.9.11 or earlier, the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check composer.json or framework configuration files for version information, or use: php -r "echo defined('PAIR_FRAMEWORK_VERSION') ? PAIR_FRAMEWORK_VERSION : 'Not found';"Verify Fix Applied:
Verify the framework version is 1.9.12 or later after applying the update.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual cookie manipulation in PHP logs
- Errors related to deserialization in application logs
- Suspicious PHP object instantiation attempts
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with manipulated cookie parameters targeting /src/UserRemember.php
- Unexpected outbound connections from the application server
SIEM Query:
source="*php*" AND ("getCookieContent" OR "UserRemember.php") AND (cookieName OR deserialization)
