Description
This module exploits CVE-2025-54236 (SessionReaper), a critical vulnerability in
Magento/Adobe Commerce that allows unauthenticated remote code execution.
The vulnerability stems from improper handling of nested deserialization in the
payment method context, combined with an unauthenticated file upload endpoint.
The exploit chain consists of three steps:
1. Upload a malicious PHP session file containing a Guzzle/FW1 deserialization
payload via the unauthenticated /customer/address_file/upload endpoint
2. Trigger deserialization by sending a crafted JSON payload to the REST API
endpoint /rest/default/V1/guest-carts/{cart_id}/order that modifies the
session savePath to point to the uploaded file
3. Execute the uploaded PHP code to gain remote code execution
This vulnerability affects Magento 2.x instances configured to use file-based
session storage. Patched versions will return a 400 Bad Request response instead
of processing the malicious payload.
