Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2013-3242 exists.\n\nAffected product: Joomla Joomla\\!. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-3242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3242/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-3242","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pwhw-p972-gp85"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Joomla remember plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can trigger PHP object injection via cookies in the Joomla remember plugin, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"joomla\\!","vendor":"joomla"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"plugins/system/remember/remember.php in Joomla! 2.5.x before 2.5.10 and 3.0.x before 3.0.4 does not properly handle an object obtained by unserializing a cookie, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct PHP object injection attacks and cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2013-04-26","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-04-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"25087","stars":null,"title":"Joomla! 3.0.3 - 'remember.php' PHP Object Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"joomla:joomla\\!","products":["joomla:joomla\\!"],"type":"deserialization","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3243"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3241"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-05-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHPMailer Command Injection","id":"CVE-2016-10033","kev_date_added":"2025-07-07","published":"2016-12-30"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Joomla!
