Overview
CVE-2023-52206 is a critical vulnerability that impacts the Live Composer Team Page Builder. The vulnerability arises from deserialization of untrusted data, which if exploited, could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage. Given the severity of this vulnerability, it is critical for users of the Page Builder: Live Composer versions up to 1.5.25 to implement the necessary mitigations and solutions as soon as possible.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability lies in the deserialization of untrusted data by the Live Composer Team Page Builder. An attacker can manipulate this process by introducing malicious data. When this data is deserialized, it can lead to unexpected behavior such as arbitrary code execution, which in turn can result in system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. In this case, a malicious JSON object is sent to a vulnerable endpoint on the target system.
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "eyJ2ZXJzaW9uIjogIjEuNS4yNSIsICJkYXRhIjogIkV4cGxvaXQiIH0K" }In this example, the “malicious_payload” is a base64 encoded string that when deserialized, could lead to arbitrary code execution. Please note this is a hypothetical example and the actual exploitation would depend on various factors including the specific configurations and defenses of the target system.
