Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 94.5% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in phpCMS 1.2.1pl2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the PHPCMS_INCLUDEPATH parameter to files in parser/include/ including (1) class.parser_phpcms.php, (2) class.session_phpcms.php, (3) class.edit_phpcms.php, (4) class.http_indexer_phpcms.php, (5) class.cache_phpcms.php, (6) class.search_phpcms.php, (7) class.lib_indexer_universal_phpcms.php, and (8) class.layout_phpcms.php, (9) parser/plugs/counter.php, and (10) parser/parser.php. NOTE: the class.cache_phpcms.php vector was also reported to affect 1.1.7.
