CVE-2006-7017: Indexu 5.0.1 allows remote code execution via admin template
CVE-2006-7017 · published 19 years ago
Summary
The web‑based content manager Indexu version 5.0.1 contains a flaw that lets an attacker supply a web address in the admin_template_path field of many admin pages. By doing so, the attacker can cause the server to load and run their own PHP code, potentially taking control of the site or stealing data. Apply the vendor’s patch or upgrade to a newer, fixed version as soon as possible.
