CVE-2025-48951: Auth0-PHP SDK Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability
(updated )
Overview The Auth0 PHP SDK contains a vulnerability due to insecure deserialization of cookie data. If exploited, since SDKs process cookie content without prior authentication, a threat actor could send a specially crafted cookie containing malicious serialized data.
Am I Affected? You are affected by this vulnerability if you meet the following preconditions:
- Applications using the Auth0-PHP SDK, versions between 8.0.0-BETA3 to 8.3.0.
- Applications using the following SDKs that rely on the Auth0-PHP SDK versions between 8.0.0-BETA3 to 8.3.0: a. Auth0/symfony, b. Auth0/laravel-auth0, c. Auth0/wordpress.
Fix Upgrade Auth0/Auth0-PHP to 8.3.1.
