The _validatePost function in libs/controller/components/security.php in CakePHP 1.3.x through 1.3.5 and 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to modify the internal Cake cache and execute arbitrary code via a crafted data[_Token][fields] value that is processed by the unserialize function, as demonstrated by modifying the file_map cache to execute arbitrary local files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older CakePHP applications can be compromised through a crafted form token value. The flaw is in CakePHP’s POST security validation and can let a remote attacker tamper with CakePHP’s internal cache, leading to arbitrary code execution in the application context. Exposure is likely limited to legacy CakePHP applications running 1.2.8 or 1.3.x through 1.3.5. Public POST endpoints using CakePHP SecurityComponent token validation are the main concern. The provided sources do not identify additional products, hosted services, or downstream distributions. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing legacy CakePHP application remains on affected versions. This is old, but public exploit material and potential code execution make it unsuitable to defer where exposure exists. Mitigation focus: Identify any applications running affected CakePHP versions.; Apply the CakePHP vendor fix corresponding to commit e431e86aa4301ced4273dc7919b59362cbb353cb.; Upgrade legacy CakePHP applications according to vendor-supported guidance..
