AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-44262) in dedoc's scramble tool allows an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code due to improper control of code generation (CWE-94). It affects versions from 0.13.2 up to but not including 0.13.22. The flaw occurs when publicly accessible documentation endpoints use validation rules referencing user input without proper sanitization, leading to code injection during API documentation generation. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high confidentiality and integrity impact with low availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected system, compromising confidentiality and integrity of data. This can lead to full system compromise or unauthorized data access. The vulnerability is critical due to its ease of exploitation and severe impact on system security.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vulnerability is fixed in dedoc scramble version 0.13.22 and later. Users should upgrade to version 0.13.22 or newer to remediate this issue. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the vendor advisory, but the description states the issue is fixed in version 0.13.22. No other mitigation or temporary fixes are provided.
