nukeviet/nukeviet fixed: 4.3.04
Upgrade nukeviet/nukeviet to 4.3.04
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for nukeviet/nukeviet

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2019-7725, inspect your project dependencies for Nukeviet/nukeviet:

inspect dependencies for nukeviet/nukeviet

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nukeviet/nukeviet in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.3.04), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Nukeviet/nukeviet, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

includes/core/is_user.php in NukeViet before 4.3.04 deserializes the untrusted nvloginhash cookie (i.e., the code relies on PHP's serialization format when JSON can be used to eliminate the risk).
