CVE-2017-7411

CWE-94Published: October 30, 2017· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

8.8
CVSS v3.1

Official Description

An issue was discovered in Enalean Tuleap 9.6 and prior versions. The vulnerability exists because the User::getRecentElements() method is using the unserialize() function with a preference value that can be arbitrarily manipulated by malicious users through the REST API interface, and this can be exploited to inject arbitrary PHP objects into the application scope, allowing an attacker to perform a variety of attacks (including but not limited to Remote Code Execution).

Technical Analysis

CVE-2017-7411 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2017-7411. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
