Pheap CMS allows remote code execution via crafted URL

CVE-2006-4531 · published 20 years ago
Summary

The Pheap CMS (versions 1.1 and earlier) loads a configuration file that can be tricked into pulling code from an external site when a specially formed lpref parameter is used. An attacker could run their own PHP code on your server, potentially taking control of the site. Update to a patched version or apply the vendor's recommended fix, and restrict input handling for the lpref parameter.
