MagicLink: Insecure Deserialization of MagicLink Actions Leads to Remote Code Execution
GHSA-r33w-fg8j-9c94
- Affected
- Packagist cesargb/laravel-magiclink >= 2.0.0, < 2.25.1
- Fixed in
- 2.25.1· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- MagicLink stores serialized action objects in the magiclinks.action database column and deserializes them without integrity validation or class allowlisting in src/MagicLink.php and src/Actions/ResponseAction.php. An attacker with the ability to manipulate database records (e.g., via SQL injection or compromised admin access) could inject malicious serialized objects containing arbitrary closures, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when the magic link is visited. Resolution The vulnerability has been mitigated through HMAC-signed serialization using the application key, class allowlisting restricted to ActionAbstract subclasses and framework classes, strict type validation preventing arbitrary object storage, and backward compatibility support for legacy data via allowedclasses in unserialize(). Implementation includes a new Serializable security class with signing/verification, refactored getter/setter methods in MagicLink.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.25.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
