Overview
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system has recently identified a critical security vulnerability, designated CVE-2025-32927, in the FoodBakery plugin developed by Chimpstudio. This vulnerability, categorized as a deserialization of untrusted data flaw, has the potential to expose systems to malicious attacks, leading to possible data leakage or system compromise.
Given the widespread use of the FoodBakery plugin by restaurant businesses and food delivery services for online ordering and delivery functionalities, the reach of this vulnerability is broad and the consequences severe. It is of paramount importance that this vulnerability is properly understood and promptly addressed to ensure the security and integrity of systems and data.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability arises from the deserialization of untrusted data within the FoodBakery software. Deserialization is the process of converting data from a flat format into an object. When this process is not handled correctly, it can create an opening for a malicious actor to inject harmful data into the deserialization process, leading to an object injection. With this, an attacker can execute arbitrary code within the application, potentially compromising the entire system.
Conceptual Example Code
This conceptual example illustrates how a malicious HTTP request exploiting the vulnerability could be constructed:
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "{serialized_object}" }In this example, `{serialized_object}` represents a serialized object containing malicious code. When the FoodBakery software deserializes this data, it may unintentionally execute the malicious code, leading to potential system compromise or data leakage.
Mitigation
The immediate mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor’s patch, which addresses the deserialization flaw. If this is not immediately possible, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary protection by detecting and blocking attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, this should not be seen as a long-term solution, and the vendor’s patch should be applied as soon as feasible.
