CVE-2025-61168
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 · uneditedAn issue in the cms_rest.php component of SIGB PMB v8.0.1.14 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unserializing an arbitrary file.
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 confidenceThe cms_rest.php component in SIGB PMB v8.0.1.14 contains a PHP deserialization vulnerability where user-controlled input is passed to the unsafe unserialize() function, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious serialized PHP objects.

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.
-
Confirm SIGB PMB installationLocate the SIGB PMB installation directory on the system by searching for pmb-related directories or configuration filesAffected if SIGB PMB is not installed on the system
-
Verify installed version is 8.0.1.14Check the PMB version file, admin interface, or any version metadata within the installation directory and compare against the affected version 8.0.1.14Affected if The installed version is 8.0.1.14
-
Check if cms_rest.php existsSearch for the cms_rest.php file within the PMB installation directory or web rootAffected if The cms_rest.php file is present and accessible via web
-
Inspect cms_rest.php for unsafe unserialize()Open cms_rest.php and search for the unserialize() function call, examining whether user input (such as GET/POST parameters) is passed directly to it without sanitization or class whitelistingAffected if User-controlled input is passed directly to unserialize() without validation
A system is affected if it runs SIGB PMB version 8.0.1.14 with the cms_rest.php component accessible and containing unsafe unserialize() handling of user input.

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 dataReplace unsafe unserialize() calls with json_decode() or implement whitelisting/allowed classes; validate and sanitize all input before deserialization.
