Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVE-2021-33898
Summary
In Invoice Ninja before 4.3.0, there is an unsafe call to "unserialize()" in "app/Ninja/Repositories/AccountRepository.php" that may allow an attacker to deserialize arbitrary PHP classes. In certain contexts, this can result in Remote Code Execution. The attacker's input must be hosted at "http://www.geoplugin.net" (cleartext HTTP), and thus a successful attack requires spoofing that site or obtaining control of it.

CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Deserialization of untrusted data vulnerabilities enable an attacker to replace or manipulate a serialized object, replacing it with malicious data. When the object is deserialized at the victim's end the malicious data is able to compromise the victim’s system. The exploit can be devastating, its impact may range from privilege escalation, broken access control, or denial of service attacks to allowing unauthorized access to the application's internal code and logic which can compromise the entire system.
