Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2015-4148. PoCs published by Filippo Roncari.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit leverages PHP object injection via deserialization in SMF (Simple Machine Forum) <= 2.0.10 to exfiltrate memory contents by abusing the SoapClient class and a local server for brute-forcing memory dumps.

Description

The do_soap_call function in ext/soap/soap.c in PHP before 5.4.39, 5.5.x before 5.5.23, and 5.6.x before 5.6.7 does not verify that the uri property is a string, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by providing crafted serialized data with an int data type, related to a "type confusion" issue.
