CCCSoftware PHP script can load external files

CVE-2001-1050 · published 25 years ago
Summary

The CCCSoftware PHP script lets a remote user specify a web address that the script will load and execute as if it were a local file. This could let an attacker run their own code on your server, potentially stealing data or taking control. Apply the vendor’s patch or disable the ability to include external files, and review any custom code for proper input validation.
