Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1023: Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors, where the product performs a comparison between entities that must consider multiple factors or characteristics of each entity, but the comparison does not include one or more of these factors. In Cakephp/queue, 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

### Impact For jobs with `shouldBeUnique = true` the queue plugin will generate a 'unique identifier' based on the job class, method and parameters. If user data is supplied, a malicious user could create collisions, resulting in legitimate jobs being dropped. ### Patches Upgrade to 2.3.1 ### Workarounds You can disable `shouldBeUnique` and handle idempotency in application code.
