CVE-2024-52411
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 · uneditedDeserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in flowcraft Advanced Personalization personalization-by-flowcraft allows Object Injection.This issue affects Advanced Personalization: from n/a through <= 1.1.2.
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 confidenceA deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in flowcraft Advanced Personalization (versions <= 1.1.2) allows attackers to inject malicious serialized objects, potentially leading to remote code execution. The Advanced Personalization feature does not properly validate or sanitize serialized data before deserialization, enabling object injection attacks.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Advanced Personalization plugin is installedLocate the plugin files in the web application's plugin or component directory. Search for directories or files named 'advanced-personalization', 'personalization', or similar related to the flowcraft plugin.Affected if The plugin directory exists and contains the Advanced Personalization component files.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionCheck the plugin's main PHP file, composer.json, or a version.php file for a version number. Look in the plugin root directory for version metadata.Affected if The installed version number is lower than the patched version, or no version information is found indicating an unpatched state.
-
Confirm PHP deserialization is in useSearch the plugin source code for usage of PHP unserialize(), eval(), or similar functions that process serialized data. Inspect any endpoints or API routes that accept serialized input.Affected if The plugin code contains unserialize() calls or processes serialized data from user input without validation.
-
Check if the vulnerable endpoint is exposedIdentify and test HTTP endpoints (GET/POST parameters, JSON body fields) that accept and process data which reaches the deserialization logic. Review the application's routing configuration.Affected if User-accessible endpoints exist that accept serialized data and pass it to the vulnerable deserialization routine.
-
Inspect authentication requirements on vulnerable routesReview the application's access control configuration for the personalization endpoints. Determine if the vulnerable code path can be reached without authentication.Affected if The endpoints processing the deserialized data are accessible to unauthenticated users.
If the Advanced Personalization plugin is installed, uses PHP unserialize() on user-supplied data, and exposes that functionality without authentication, the environment is likely affected by CVE-2024-52411.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a patched version of flowcraft Advanced Personalization. If no patch is available, implement strict input validation and consider replacing insecure deserialization methods with safer alternatives such as JSON serialization.
