Technical Description

The getObjectByToken function in Newsletter.php in the Pimcore_Tool_Newsletter module in pimcore 1.4.9 through 2.0.0 does not properly handle an object obtained by unserializing Lucene search data, which allows remote attackers to conduct PHP object injection attacks and execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a Zend_Pdf_ElementFactory_Proxy object and a pathname with a trailing \0 character.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from pimcore. Update pimcore to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
