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
Rox, the software running BeWelcome, contains a PHP object injection vulnerability resulting from deserialization of untrusted data. User-controlled input is passed to PHP's unserialize(): the POST parameter `formkit_memory_recovery` in \\RoxPostHandler::getCallbackAction and the 'memory cookie' read by \\RoxModelBase::getMemoryCookie (bwRemember). (1) If present, `formkit_memory_recovery` is processed and passed to unserialize(), and (2) restore-from-memory functionality calls unserialize() on the bwRemember cookie value. Gadget chains present in Rox and bundled libraries enable exploitation of object injection to write arbitrary files or achieve remote code execution. Successful exploitation can lead to full site compromise. This vulnerability was remediated with commit c60bf04 (2025-06-16).

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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-502

The application rebuilds objects from attacker-supplied serialized data, and the act of rebuilding can trigger dangerous code paths. In many runtimes this leads straight to remote code execution. The durable fix is to avoid deserializing untrusted input — or to use a strict, type-limited format with integrity checks.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

latest main branch or tagged release containing commit c60bf04

  1. 1. Navigate to the Rox/BeWelcome installation directory
  2. 2. Fetch the latest changes from the upstream repository: `git fetch origin`
  3. 3. Checkout or pull the commit that contains the fix: `git checkout c60bf04` or `git pull origin c60bf04`
  4. 4. Verify the fix was applied by reviewing the changes in RoxPostHandler.php and RoxModelBase.php
  5. 5. Clear any cached data or compiled files if the framework uses them (e.g., clear Symfony cache if applicable)
  6. 6. Test the application to ensure functionality remains intact
  7. 7. Monitor logs for any attempts to exploit the former vulnerability
