CVE-2020-1898
Last modified
CVE-2020-1898 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The fb_unserialize function did not impose a depth limit for nested deserialization. That meant a maliciously constructed string could cause deserialization to recurse, leading to stack exhaustion. EPSS estimates a 1.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
