CVE-2018-17827: Hisiphp 1.0.8 lets attackers run code via plugin name

CVE-2018-17827 · published 8 years ago
Summary

The Hisiphp content management system version 1.0.8 accepts a plugin name that is later inserted into its admin code without proper checks. An attacker who can change a plugin’s name could inject malicious PHP commands, allowing them to run code on the server. Update to a patched version or apply input validation to prevent special characters in plugin names.
