…cache The availableTaskTypes cache stores serialized arrays containing ShapeDescriptor objects, ShapeEnumValue objects, and EShapeType enum values. The unserialize() call did not restrict which classes could be instantiated. Restrict deserialization to the three known types: - OCP\TaskProcessing\ShapeDescriptor - OCP\TaskProcessing\ShapeEnumValue - OCP\TaskProcessing\EShapeType This prevents PHP Object Injection if an attacker gains write access to the distributed cache backend (e.g., a Redis instance without authentication or with weak ACLs), which is a known real-world attack vector in shared hosting and container environments.

Summary
OC\TaskProcessing\Manager::getAvailableTaskTypes()deserializes the task type cache from the distributed cache backend without restricting which PHP classes can be instantiated.The issue
The serialized data contains
ShapeDescriptorobjects,ShapeEnumValueobjects, andEShapeTypeenum values. An attacker who can write to the cache backend (e.g., Redis without authentication or with weak ACLs — a common misconfiguration in cloud deployments) can inject a PHP gadget chain and achieve Remote Code Execution via PHP Object Injection.The fix
Restrict
unserialize()to only the three known classes actually stored in the cache:This is verified by inspecting the write path:
serialize($this->availableTaskTypes)where$availableTaskTypesis built fromgetInputShape(),getOutputShape()etc. which return arrays ofShapeDescriptorobjects withEShapeTypevalues.Security impact
Redis Object Injection via unprotected cache backends is a well-known attack class. Nextcloud already uses
allowed_classesinFileProfilerStorage,CommandJob, andQueueBus— this PR extends the same pattern toTaskProcessing\Manager.Signed-off-by: XananasX7
