CVE-2025-60213
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 Whitebox-Studio Scape scape allows Object Injection.This issue affects Scape: from n/a through <= 1.5.13.
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 vulnerability exists in Whitebox-Studio Scape (version up to 1.5.13) where untrusted data is being deserialized, enabling an object injection attack. This critical flaw (CVSS 9.8) likely allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious serialized objects that get instantiated during deserialization.

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.
-
Locate Whitebox-Studio Scape installationSearch the system for the Scape application directory or binary (common locations: /opt/, /usr/local/, or program files on Windows). Check for files named 'scape', 'Scape', or a 'whitebox' directory.Affected if Scape software is found on the system
-
Identify installed Scape versionLocate the version file or check the application binary/manifest for version information. Common paths include a VERSION file, setup.py __version__, or the application's main executable metadata.Affected if Installed version is 1.5.13 or lower, or version cannot be determined (assumed vulnerable)
-
Find deserialization code pathsSearch the application source code (if accessible) for deserialization functions: PHP unserialize(), Python pickle.loads()/yaml.load(), Java ObjectInputStream, .NET BinaryFormatter, or similar. Also grep for 'deserialize', 'unserialize', 'pickle', 'yaml', 'ObjectInputStream'.Affected if Code contains any deserialization of untrusted data without validation
-
Verify if user input reaches deserializationTrace the data flow from external inputs (HTTP requests, file uploads, API parameters, database fields) to the identified deserialization points. Determine whether any untrusted source can supply data to the deserialize() call.Affected if Deserialization accepts input directly from users, external APIs, or unauthenticated sources
The environment is affected if Whitebox-Studio Scape version 1.5.13 or lower is installed AND the application deserializes untrusted input from external sources without validation.

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 Scape if available. If no patch exists, audit the codebase to identify all deserialization points and replace unsafe deserialization with safer alternatives such as JSON, or implement strict allowlist validation before deserializing any user-supplied data.
