CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2019-25729 — PDF Signer security vulnerability
PDF Signer 3.0 contains a server-side template injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting PHP commands through the CSRF-TOKEN cookie parameter. Attackers can craft malicious cookie values containing template injection payloads like shell_exec() to execute system commands and retrieve sensitive information from the server.

Matched remediation archetype
Command, code, expression, and template injection
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace untrusted values to process execution, interpreters, evaluators, template engines, dynamic imports, and administrative scripting features.
- Determine whether the affected path is reachable across each trust boundary and which service account or host privilege it inherits.
- Review configuration for optional execution features, unsafe compatibility modes, and shell invocation.
Remediate safely
- Replace string-built commands or evaluated code with fixed operations and structured argument APIs that do not invoke a shell.
- Use strict allowlists for operation identifiers and reject unexpected input before it reaches any interpreter.
- Update the affected component and add inert regression tests covering metacharacters, encoding variants, and alternate request paths.
