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
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in lty628 Aidigu up to 1.8.2. This affects the function checkUserCookie of the file /application/common.php of the component PHP Object Handler. The manipulation of the argument rememberMe leads to deserialization. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

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 in the checkUserCookie function of /application/common.php in the Aidigu application. The function deserializes user-controlled data from the rememberMe cookie without proper validation, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious PHP objects and potentially achieve remote code execution via gadget chains.

MitigationReplace unsafe unserialize() on the rememberMe cookie with safe alternatives like json_decode() with HMAC-signed cookies, or implement strict allowlist validation before any deserialization occurs.

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. Locate the vulnerable file
    Find /application/common.php in the Aidigu installation directory
    Affected if The file exists and contains the checkUserCookie function
  2. Identify the rememberMe cookie handling
    Search the common.php file for the checkUserCookie function and examine how it processes the rememberMe cookie parameter
    Affected if The function retrieves and uses the rememberMe cookie value without HMAC validation
  3. Detect unsafe deserialization
    Look for unserialize() calls within checkUserCookie that operate on $_COOKIE['rememberMe'] or similar user-supplied input
    Affected if unserialize() is called directly on cookie data without prior validation
  4. Verify cookie is user-controlled
    Confirm the rememberMe cookie value comes from user input (client-side) rather than being generated server-side with cryptographic signatures
    Affected if The cookie value is directly passed to unserialize without signature verification
  5. Confirm application is using vulnerable code path
    Check if the application actually invokes checkUserCookie during authentication or session handling
    Affected if checkUserCookie is called and the rememberMe feature is active

A user is affected if their Aidigu installation has the vulnerable checkUserCookie function in /application/common.php that uses unsafe unserialize() on the rememberMe cookie without HMAC validation.

Mitigation

Replace unsafe unserialize() on the rememberMe cookie with safe alternatives like json_decode() with HMAC-signed cookies, or implement strict allowlist validation before any deserialization occurs.
