Descriptions

PHPMailer 6.1.8 through 6.4.0 allows object injection through Phar Deserialization via addAttachment with a UNC pathname. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2018-19296, but arose because 6.1.8 fixed a functionality problem in which UNC pathnames were always considered unreadable by PHPMailer, even in safe contexts. As an unintended side effect, this fix eliminated the code that blocked addAttachment exploitation.

PHPMailer versión 6.1.8 hasta la versión 6.4.0 permite la inyección de objetos a través de Phar Deserialization vía addAttachment con un nombre de ruta UNC. NOTA: esto es similar a CVE-2018-19296, pero surgió porque la versión 6.1.8 corrigió un problema de funcionalidad en el que los nombres de ruta UNC siempre se consideraban ilegibles por PHPMailer, incluso en contextos seguros. Como efecto secundario no intencionado, esta corrección eliminó el código que bloqueaba la explotación de addAttachment
