Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller.This issue affects Geo Controller: from n/a through 8.6.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability exists in INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller affecting versions up to 8.6.4. This class of vulnerability occurs when applications deserialize data from untrusted sources without proper validation, potentially allowing attackers to manipulate serialized objects to execute arbitrary code or conduct other attacks.

MitigationApply any available vendor patch; if no patch exists, review and secure deserialization code paths, implement allowlist validation for deserialized objects, or migrate to safer serialization formats.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller installation
    Locate the INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller component in your environment - check application inventory, installed packages, or web application module list
    Affected if The Geo Controller component is present and part of your INFINITUM FORM installation
  2. Determine installed version
    Check the version of INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller - look in application metadata, about page, version file, or component manifest
    Affected if Version is 8.6.4 or lower (any version up to and including 8.6.4)
  3. Confirm deserialization functionality is active
    Review application configuration and code for deserialization operations, particularly within the Geo Controller - look for unserialize(), pickle, JSON decode of serialized objects, or similar data loading functions
    Affected if The Geo Controller accepts or processes deserialized data from user input, external sources, or stored objects

If INFINITUM FORM Geo Controller version 8.6.4 or lower is installed and processes deserialized data from untrusted sources, the environment is affected by this CVE.
