Incomplete Comparison in getUniqueId vulnerable to collisions

Low
markstory published GHSA-r5pm-vrc5-3m73 Jun 16, 2026

Package

composer cakephp/queue (Composer)

Affected versions

<2.3.1,>0.1.10

Patched versions

2.3.1

Description

Impact

For jobs with shouldBeUnique = true the queue plugin will generate a 'unique identifier' based on the job class, method and parameters. If user data is supplied, a malicious user could create collisions, resulting in legitimate jobs being dropped.

Patches

Upgrade to 2.3.1

Workarounds

You can disable shouldBeUnique and handle idempotency in application code.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
