Severity: Warning Message: unserialize() has been disabled for security reasons

Please resolve the issue asap.

[HaydenANG]

I do believe that unserialize is disabled due to security reasons/issues, as for the issues, there are multiple websites explaining why it should be disabled, also why do you need it?

[Admin]

Does this apply to your account too?

Ow==

The unserialize function was disabled in our PHP 5.4 setup, presumably due to unsolved security problems in that version of PHP. PHP 5.4 stopped getting security in September 2015, so issues like that are bound to occur. The best way to fix this is to run your website on a newer version of PHP. If your website code supports it, you should just switch to the newest version of PHP (which is 7.4). If that doesn’t work, you can try to use PHP 5.6, or at least the newest version of PHP your site can…

[sksabbirali]

I have changed to PHP v5.6 but still getting error. I have tried to change other PHP Version. But getting error. Please help me out.

you should change it to the newest PHP version (7.4)

[Admin]

I did some more investigation and it seems that the unserialize function in PHP 5 has a security vulnerability. This vulnerability was fixed in a newer version of PHP 5.6 than we offer. This is most likely why the function was disabled in every PHP version except for PHP 7.4.

I can check with iFastNet whether they have any plans to update the version of PHP 5.6 we offer to the most recent version so this function can be enabled.

But if it’s possible, you should try to run your website on PHP 7.4 if you can, because PHP 5 won’t be around forever.

[sksabbirali]

My website doesn’t work on 7.4. It is based on PHP v5.6. I have tried to run on V7.3 and upper. But not working. Please help me on this.

[anon19508339]

When your site doesn’t work with newer version of PHP, it means it’s outdated and you’ve to either update it or match it with newer versions of PHP.

PHP 5.6 was released at 2012 but it is 2020 now. which means older versions will expire later and nomore will be used in future.

[sksabbirali]

You cannot say that it is out dated. I agree with you also. It will not work only where there server is running only PHP V7.0 or higher. But server has the lower version and it was running. It has stopped work from last 2 days.

[Admin]

It stopped working because we found out that there was a big security hole in the PHP unserialize function. The fix for this issue was created after PHP 5.6 was end of life, so no patch was created for these older PHP versions.

We upgraded to PHP 7.4 to fix this issue in the PHP 7.x version we offer. However, no such fix exists for older PHP versions, which is why disabling this function is our only option.

I understand it’s frustrating that your website broke just like that. But we can’t restore this function on PHP 5, knowing that doing so means we are not able to protect the confidentiality and integrity of websites hosted with us.

So you have a few options here:

• Make your software work with PHP 7.4, or migrate to software which does work with PHP 7 already.
• Edit your software so it doesn’t use the unserialize function anymore.
• Switch to premium hosting, which uses HardenedPHP and other security systems which means the unserialize function doesn’t need to be disabled there.

And please understand that software is not something you can just set up once and forget about it. Software always has to be maintained, fixed and updated. Software which is no longer being updated will become unusable at some point.
