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 sphoid SiteBuilder Dynamic Components sitebuilder-dynamic-components allows Object Injection.This issue affects SiteBuilder Dynamic Components: from n/a through <= 1.0.

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

This is a PHP Object Injection vulnerability caused by insecure deserialization of untrusted data in sphoid SiteBuilder Dynamic Components. The flaw allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects into the application by supplying malicious serialized payloads, potentially achieving remote code execution on the affected system.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of SiteBuilder Dynamic Components. If no patched version is available, disable or remove the affected component and implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as an interim control until a fix is available.

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 SiteBuilder Dynamic Components installation
    Search the web root directory for files related to 'sitebuilder', 'dynamic components', 'sphoid', or 'brandonclark'. Common paths include /wp-content/plugins/, /components/, or the main sitebuilder directory. Use: find /path/to/webroot -iname '*sitebuilder*' -o -iname '*sphoid*' 2>/dev/null
    Affected if The component files are present on the server
  2. Determine installed version
    Check for version information in component files, readme.txt, or configuration files within the SiteBuilder directory. Look for a 'version' variable or file containing version metadata. Compare against the affected range: <= 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0 or any version number less than or equal to 1.0
  3. Identify deserialization entry points
    Search the SiteBuilder component files for PHP functions that perform deserialization: unserialize(), var_dump(), var_export(), or similar. Check files in the 'dynamic-components' or 'components' subdirectory for these vulnerable function calls. Use: grep -r 'unserialize' /path/to/sitebuilder/
    Affected if The code contains unserialize() calls processing untrusted input without validation
  4. Verify the component is web-accessible
    Confirm the vulnerable component is exposed via HTTP by checking if the SiteBuilder directory is within the publicly accessible web root. Attempt to access the component directly via browser or curl to confirm it responds
    Affected if The vulnerable component is reachable via HTTP/HTTPS requests from the internet or internal network
  5. Check for exploitation indicators
    Review web server access logs and PHP error logs for patterns indicating PHP object injection attempts. Look for serialized PHP objects in request parameters, unusual object class names, or errors related to __wakeup, __destruct, or __toString methods
    Affected if Log analysis reveals serialized payloads in requests or PHP object injection-related errors

The environment is affected if Brandonclark SiteBuilder Dynamic Components version 1.0 or lower is installed and the vulnerable deserialization code is accessible via web requests.
