CVE-2006-4061: phpPrintAnalyzer 1.1 lets attackers run code via URL

CVE-2006-4061 · published 20 years ago

Summary

The phpPrintAnalyzer version 1.1 script can load a file specified in the rep_par_rapport_racine parameter when the PHP setting register_globals is turned on. An attacker could craft a web request that makes the server execute their own PHP code, potentially taking control of the system. Disable register_globals or upgrade/patch the application to eliminate the unsafe loading of external files.
