PHP 4 before 4.4.5, and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, when register_globals is enabled, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via deserialization of session data, which overwrites arbitrary global variables, as demonstrated by calling session_decode on a string beginning with "_SESSION|s:39:".

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

9.36% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 95% of all scored CVEs.
