CVE-2006-3608

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—💥 Exploit

The Gallery module in Simone Vellei Flatnuke 2.5.7 and earlier, when Gallery uploads are enabled, does not restrict the extensions of uploaded files that begin with a GIF header, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code via an uploaded .php file.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
